Christmas Market in Ortisei
During Advent, Ortisei in Val Gardena becomes a small Christmas village in the heart of the Dolomites. Festively decorated huts, lights and the winter mountain setting accompany a stroll through the village centre.
At the market stalls, you will find regional specialities, Christmas baking and gift ideas from local crafts. Traditional Val Gardena woodcarving is a defining feature of the market.
