When the most contemplative period of the year is approaching, Caldaro starts preparing a particular event far away from the big Christmas Markets. The idyllic Caldaro Christmas Market invites to a pleasant stroll between the wooden stands. Here, right at the Piazza del Mercato (Market Square) in Caldaro village (Kaltern Dorf) this feast for all the senses makes children's eyes shine and fills the air with the aromas of cinnamon and myrrh.

Traditions and local customs are in the centre of attention. Besides handicrafts and original gift ideas, presented in the beautiful new wooden huts, the Caldaro Christmas Market offers also an interesting entertainment programme including Christmas carols and horse carriage rides and exhibitions, as well as the traditional St. Nicholas Move and the Krampus Run.

The aroma of gingerbread, beautiful Christmas carols, a sea of lights and a cosy atmosphere... welcome to the wine village of Caldaro in Advent!
