A contemplative time-out in the Salzburger Saalachtal
When the first snow covers the forests around St. Martin and the mountains glow in the soft winter light, the Salzburger Saalachtal is transformed into a quiet, magical landscape. Right here – in the idyllic Schlosspark Grubhof – you will find a retreat where Christmas and New Year’s Eve still carry the tranquillity that characterizes this special time of year.
✨ Advent in the mountains – the Maria Kirchental mountain Christmas
Just a few minutes from your vacation apartment, a winter path leads up to the pilgrimage site of Maria Kirchental, where one of the most atmospheric Advent markets in the country takes place. Torches light the way, contemplative sounds fill the square in front of the church and lovingly designed stalls offer handicrafts, sweet smells and warm drinks.
The “Bergweihnacht Maria Kirchental” is no ordinary Christmas market – it is an experience full of authenticity, tranquillity and genuine tradition. A place where you can feel Advent as it was once meant to be: warm, simple, touching.
