Winter holidays in Southern South Tyrol

Christmas Time at Unterhabsbergerhof
Also in winter, Southern South Tyrol is very special. Thanks to its proximity to the cities of Bolzano and Merano, with their traditional Christmas markets, a truly magical winter holiday awaits here – one we simply could not keep from our guests. That is why we also remain open during the period between Christmas and New Year. Treat yourself to a few relaxing days away from the holiday rush: explore the wintry Montiggl Forest, admire the frozen lake, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings as you recharge your batteries for the year ahead. A winter holiday at Unterhabsbergerhof has a very special charm.

Christmas markets

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

There is a good reason that South Tyrol is famous for its beautiful, traditional Christmas markets. From Monticolo, you can easily reach some of them in no time. The closest, bigger Christmas markets are those in Bozen and Meran. Both are only a few minutes by car away and can also be easily reached by public transportation (for free with our guest card). There, you can stroll among the festively decorated market stalls, shop for souvenirs or sip a warming winter drink. With a little luck, a few snowflakes may start to fall, making the Christmas atmosphere even more magical.
But it is not only the larger towns and cities that radiate a special charm during the festive season. Many smaller towns and villages also host Christmas events that are well worth a visit. For example, head to nearby St. Pauls, where countless beautifully crafted nativity scenes are displayed throughout the village streets and illuminated in the evening. Or visit a charming smaller Christmas market in the Sarntal Valley or on the Ritten Plateau to fully embrace the festive spirit.

Active winter holidays

Experiencing South Tyrol

Whoever decides to visit us during Christmas and New Year’s can also look forward to many different open-air activities. Go for a winter walk, starting directly at Unterhabsbergerhof and explore the snowy Monticolo Forest and the frozen lake, or drive to one of the nearby valleys to go skiing or hiking. If you are lucky, you can also go ice skating on one of the lakes in our surroundings. The finest winter fun awaits you during your stay at Unterhabsbergerhof!
