Christmas Markets in Selva di Val Gardena

In the heart of the Dolomites, Selva di Val Gardena transforms into a magical Christmas scene with the event “Mountain Christmas”—a unique opportunity to experience the festive spirit in one of South Tyrol’s most enchanting destinations.

The markets and the cable cars: Unique atmospheres

At an altitude of 1,563 metres, Selva offers a truly original experience: the “Nadel da Mont”, or Alpine Christmas Markets. What makes these markets special is that they are not held solely in traditional wooden huts but also feature 13 small cabins inspired by the famous cable cars.

Set up as Christmas boutiques, these cabins recall the deep connection with skiing and the renowned Sellaronda—one of the most famous ski circuits in the world. Adding to the magic, a small replica of the cable car glides above the market, creating a sense of wonder and making the atmosphere truly captivating.

The scent of Christmas

Along the pedestrian area, the air is filled with the aroma of cinnamon and mulled wine, while traditional music and soft lights create a warm and intimate mood. You’ll find high-quality local crafts, nativity scenes displayed in the church square and an open-air Advent calendar—with a new window lighting up each evening along the main street.
