The Best Celebrations for Christmas and New Year's Eve

Experience the festive season in the Wilder Kaiser region

The festive season around Christmas and New Year is just around the corner and the four kaiser villages Ellmau, Going, Scheffau and Söll are embracing the peaceful charm of winter. The Advent and Christmas markets in the region are perfect for immersing yourself in the festive atmosphere with warm drinks and Tyrolean dishes. New Year's Eve promises atmospheric moments in the Tyrolean mountains: be it at a festive dinner in one of the first-class restaurants or at pre-New Year's Eve and New Year's reception events in the four holiday resorts.

This website provides an overview of the numerous Christmas and New Year's Eve events and activities that take place in the Wilder Kaiser region during this time.
