Maramar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"what-a-tree\">What a Tree<\/h2>\n<p>The hallmark of the Bolzano Christmas market is definitely the big tree set up in Walther Square: 1,300 lights at a height of almost 20 metres, when it lights up the winter season begins. It is called the &#8220;Tree of Wishes&#8221; and it is decorated with Thun ceramic angels and charms, symbols of dreams and hope. From the tree the magic radiates throughout the city: among the narrow streets of the center, in the courtyards, in the squares. Sixty-five wooden chalets are set up in the main square, and the &#8220;Christmas Park&#8221; (Alcide Berloffa Park) hosts 32 more stands.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of beautiful wooden chalets where you can unearth the handicraft or curious object. Not forgetting to taste some local delicacies, such as Lebkuchen sweets, apple fritters, cookies, Zelten and Stollen.<\/p>\n<p>There are also many events scheduled, so not to miss one just go to the new info point at No. 11 Wheat Square, which provides dedicated brochures and maps.<\/p>\n<p>And to end on a high note, you can continue with a\u00a0 dinner at one of the town&#8217;s restaurants (Laurin, Zur Kaiserkron, Argentieri Restaurant, Tree Brasserie, Italia&amp;Amore, Gasthaus Fink, L\u00f6wengrube, Batzen H\u00e4usl) where the in-house chefs have prepared a special &#8220;Market Menu.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"merano-a-christmas-village-and-the-silent-lights\">Merano. A Christmas Village and the &#8220;Silent Lights&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>In the town overlooking the River Passirio, everything revolves around the Christmas Village at the piazza della Rena. Here we find a large chalet where you can book a gourmet dinner but also participate in creative workshops to learn how to create an advent wreath or a centrepiece for the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>The spa park will also be transformed into a wonderland for the occasion: during the &#8220;Silent Lights&#8221; you can enjoy an exciting and magical experience surrounded by nature, moving among light, wind, sound and landscape.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1277\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1277\" style=\"width: 1160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dolomitemountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/smg02726alfi-1160x772.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1160\" height=\"772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dolomitemountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/smg02726alfi-1160x772.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.dolomitemountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/smg02726alfi-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dolomitemountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/smg02726alfi-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dolomitemountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/smg02726alfi-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.dolomitemountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/smg02726alfi-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.dolomitemountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/smg02726alfi-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/www.dolomitemountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/smg02726alfi-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.dolomitemountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/smg02726alfi-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.dolomitemountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/smg02726alfi-1920x1278.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.dolomitemountains.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/smg02726alfi-scaled.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1277\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christmas Market in Merano.

Also worth seeing is the XXL-sized Advent calendar decorating the 24 windows of the Bauzano House, overlooking the Cathedral Square: each day a new window is opened and pictures and painted phrases on the theme of peace appear.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jingle-bells-in-vipiteno\">Jingle bells in Vipiteno<\/h2>\n<p>Din don, carillons and melodies: Christmas in Vipiteno celebrates bells. Small themed glass bells can be found on the stalls, a traditional item that makes a valuable gift. But sounds are spread everywhere: a carillon consisting of 25 bells has been installed on the Tower of Twelve and rings every day at a set time. Inside the Sound Forest at North Park there are sound stations and snow games, and on Mount Horse there is a special bell: here everyone can leave his letter to Santa Claus.

That&#8217;s why at the Brunico Christmas Market, which is historically linked to the scents of nature, they thoughtfully created &#8220;the Christmas scent.&#8221; Thanks to a collaboration with the company Bergila, an essence of herbal notes with that touch of spice was born that reminds us of the holiday atmosphere even in the mid-August.<\/p>\n<p>To dive even deeper into the Christmas scents, you can visit the Fragrance Barn at Tschurtschenthaler Square: a sensory experience among the herbs, oils, and scents of South Tyrol.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pk-content-block pk-block-border-top\"><em><strong>Want to discover the festive allure of the Dolomites?
