Christmas market Maria Kirchental

Special Christmas market for the family near Salzburg

What’s the best way to get into the Christmas spirit? At the Maria Kirchental Mountain Christmas, of course. At the traditional craft market, stallholders await you with handmade products such as pottery, home-sewn items and regional specialities. In addition to 2 free concerts, there will be an alpine Advent song entitled ‘Auf d`Weihnacht zua’ (Towards Christmas) and – new this year – a concert by the Hollerstauden. Children can shorten the waiting time for the Christ Child with handicrafts in the Christmas workshop with elf ‘Billy’, the hands-on theatre and the Engerl post office. Of course, there is once again a shuttle service (for a fee) from the toll station in St. Martin. Free parking is available in the centre of St. Martin. The hike up to the mountain christmas takes about 1 hour

The Mountain Christmas will take place on 6 + 7 December 2025 and 13 + 14 December 2025.
