Winter vacation

at the Wolfgangsee in the Weisses Bär.

Lake Wolfgangsee in winter is a true winter wonderland that delights visitors with its picturesque backdrop and festive atmosphere. The Wolfgangsee Advent in particular attracts visitors from near and far and transforms the region into a magical experience. The charming towns around the lake, such as St. Wolfgang, St. Gilgen and Strobl, shine in festive splendor and invite you to get away from it all.

Tip: Wånn's dumpa becomes. Then it lights up. The market. Every Wednesday from 4.00 pm, St. Wolfgang is bathed in warm candlelight. A quiet sparkle that illuminates the mind and the alleyways. A sign of tradition. For awareness. For an atmosphere that lasts. Simply experience it.

The Wolfgangsee Advent.

Christmas time-out at the Hotel Weisser Bär.

The Wolfgangsee Advent is known for its traditional Christmas markets, which take place in a unique setting. The stalls are lovingly decorated and offer handmade works of art, fragrant treats and warming drinks. Here you can warm up with a mulled wine or punch while enjoying the festive music floating through the air. A little detour for lunch in our pub or a festive 8-course Christmas dinner in the gourmet restaurant Paula? Either way, these are wonderfully relaxing weekends that bring plenty of romance and relaxation to the pre-Christmas hustle and bustle. If you take the Wolfgangsee boat trip around the lake and visit the Christmas market in St. Wolfgang as well as the towns of St. Gilgen and Strobl, you can enjoy the winter wonderland glitter all around the lake, when the lights of the Christmas decorations are reflected in the water of Lake Wolfgang and create a dreamlike atmosphere.

A highlight of Advent is the Advent carol singing, where local choirs and music groups perform traditional songs. The sounds of the music mingle with the gentle sound of the water and the crackling of the fire in the open fireplaces. There are numerous activities for families, such as making Christmas decorations or a visit from St. Nicholas, who delights the children with small gifts.
