Bruneck, the “Pearl of the Puster Valley” is perfect for sports lovers who can combine fun on the ski slopes with exciting walks among the enchanting medieval houses of Via Centrale. Bruneck, at the foot of the snowy Plan de Corones, is filled with an atmosphere characterized by Alpine warmth and Italian style.
Here, the pleasure of a walk among the Christmas Markets alternates with the adrenaline of a day skiing, surrounded by the wonderful landscape of the Dolomites.
Bruneck offers a true Christmas path through its alleys, designed to offer guests the best possible experience of its markets.
Among sweets, such as Strauben with jam (at the GrofSmutters Kiiche stand) or savory goulash soups served in bread rolls (Maggie stand), stalls, lights, songs, and a rich entertainment program, it will also be possible to find “selfie-points,” where you can take the best memorable photos and share them with your friends.
Very special is Christmas in the “Oberstadt“, the original place of this celebration, which develops around the Marian Column and the Sternbach Palace.
This district exudes a characteristic atmosphere, which you notice immediately arriving from Via Centrale and passing through the Ragen Gate. Two food stands delight palates with local specialties but also vegan and vegetarian options.
The magic of Christmas also fills the charming town of Bruneck, which offers a true Christmas path through the streets of the center and the wooden houses of its Christmas Market. Not to be missed is first and foremost the awaited Hayloft of Scents returning to Tschurtschenthaler Square, creating an enchanted setting where herbs and fragrances blend to offer visitors a sensory journey. And not only that, during Advent, the Oberstadt district (old town) prepares to renew the Silent Point at the walls of Sternbach Palace, an initiative by local inhabitants offering visitors of the Market — and not only — the chance to write down their wishes and hang them on the tree placed in the center of the room. An idea that invites stopping and reflecting for a few minutes. Finally, among the streets of the center, there are the traditional wooden houses where you can taste some South Tyrolean specialties such as goulash soup served in a bread bowl or Val Pusteria jacket potatoes.
