The fireplace at the Christmas Market
Where history comes alive and warmth touches the heart
In the midst of the bustling Christmas market, it blazes – our fireplace. Here, where flames dance and sparks rise towards the sky, beats the true heart of the Advent season. It's more than just a fire: it's a window to the past, a place of encounter, and a stage for South Tyrol's most beautiful traditions.
It's a place that touches all the senses: the crackling of the fire, the aroma of roasted delicacies, the gentle scratching of carding combs, the warm light that makes faces glow.
Come by, stop, let yourself be enchanted. At our fireplace, Christmas becomes what it once was: a celebration of community, stories, and small miracles.
A living museum under the open sky
Every day, history awakens to life here. While authentic South Tyrolean dishes simmer in the cauldron above the flames, just a few meters away, the first threads of raw wool are being spun. Washing, drying, carding, dyeing, spinning – the ancient wool craft of our ancestors comes alive before your eyes. With historical tools, in traditional clothing, and with an invitation: watch, ask questions, join in.
For young and old explorers
While adults are drawn by the scents and stories of the past, new worlds open up for children. Stories that sound even more magical in the firelight. Techniques they can try for themselves. Moments they'll never forget.
