Advent Day is the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit. There’s something for all ages: designing Christmas cards, trying your hand at weaving, listening to the storyteller, making stars and singing together.

In Tyrol, all hell traditionally breaks loose on 5 December, as the Krampus are out and about. You can find out more about this and other Christmas traditions on a guided tour of the ‘The Mountains of Tyrol’ exhibition. You can experience the Christmas story on a guided tour of the mechanical Christmas mountain from the Ore Mountains.
Do come along!
