Mountain Advent in Pyhrn-Priel

Living customs, regional delicacies and a glittering sea of lights

When the scent of winter treats blends with festive sounds, the living traditions of 360° Alpenland come to life. At the Pyhrn-Priel Mountain Advent, the Advent markets on the weekends between November 28 and December 20 invite you to stroll, sample treats, and take a moment to reflect. Traditional crafts, regional delicacies, and festive music accompany you through this special time of year.

An impressive example of regional culture is the historic Niglo Procession on December 5. This custom, which dates back more than 150 years, is recognized as part of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage. Around 30 characters parade through the festively decorated alleys and streets—including angels, the Nigoloherr and Nigolofrau, a night watchman, the Klaubauf, and the Habergoaß. You’ll receive vacation vouchers worth 20 euros per person for your accommodations. You can redeem them at the Pyhrn-Priel Mountain Advent markets as well as at around 100 regional partner businesses. Visits to the Advent markets are on your own and unaccompanied.
