Stoaberg Advent in Saalfelden Leogang

Experience this quiet and reflective season with genuine Pinzgau traditions. You can bake cookies, witness the run featuring the scary demon-like figures known as “Krampus” or “Perchten”, visit the Christmas market with mulled wine and non-alcoholic punch, and be there to see another candle lit each week. You’ll find yourself wishing that Advent could be just a little bit longer!

Staunen beim regionaltypischen Krampuslauf

Schaurig-schön sind die Pinzgauer Krampusse, deren Umzüge hier schon lange Tradition haben. Bei den Krampusläufen rund um den 5. Dezember machen sich die Krampusse mit ihren kunstvoll geschnitzten Masken auf den Weg und bieten ein ganz besonderes Spektakel für Einheimische und Gäste. Ein bisschen zum Fürchten, aber keine Sorge, auch der Nikolaus kommt und bringt den Kindern etwas Gutes.
