Bruneck combines the charm of a small town with the unmistakable flair of a winter sports destination. Nestled at the foot of the snow-covered local mountain, Kronplatz, a stroll through the alleys of the old town reveals this special blend of Alpine cosiness and Italian dolce vita. This is precisely why a visit to the Bruneck Christmas Market during the Advent season is an absolute must. The festive anticipation can be felt throughout the entire town. Lovingly decorated stalls invite visitors to browse through handicrafts, sweet treats, handmade decorations, and culinary delights. And with a cup of mulled wine, a winter evening can be pleasantly rounded off in good company.

During the Advent season, a special world of craftsmanship opens inside the historic Sternbach Palais. In its centuries-old rooms, selected artisans present their unique creations – from fine ceramics and exquisite textiles to traditional woodwork.

A special highlight awaits guests even on the way to the castle: from the school center, shining stars light the path up to the castle, guiding the way into winter magic. Inside the heated caretaker’s room, lovingly crafted handmade pieces are presented – authentic and unique: Hannis Deco – dried flowers, Gitzl Herbert – nativity scenes, Trakofler Siegfried – woodturning, Gazzurelli Giulietta – hand-painted porcelain and floral greeting cards, Pircher Michi – wool processing with demonstrations. The musical backdrop is provided by traditional folk melodies – played on harp, guitar, and hammered dulcimer, filling the castle with a warm and atmospheric sound. Among the scent of wood, soft candlelight, and familiar melodies, an ambiance unfolds that reveals winter in all its quiet, magical beauty. A castle visit is possible – however, temperatures match those of “medieval conditions”. Warm clothing is recommended. Hot drinks are available.
