A visit to the Christmas market

Snowflakes dance through illuminated alleys while bustling pre-Christmas energy blends harmoniously with wintry tranquillity. The scent of cinnamon and apples fills the winter air, and mulled wine warms your hands. A stroll through the Christmas market in Meran, with its handcrafted products and traditional delicacies, is a feast for all the senses, a true journey of enjoyment for all ages.

Krampus Run

Eerie masks, mystical smoke, and atmospheric lights – during the Krampus Run, usually held on 5 December, the “Tuifl” (devils) parade through villages and towns, making for a strangely beautiful experience. The scary characters also come to visit us at the Quellenhof Resort.

Christmas traditions

The festival of love, of atmospheric lights, shining eyes, and inner peace. At the Quellenhof, we love Christmas more than anything because this celebration has always had something special about it, a one-of-a-kind magic that fills our hearts. We would like to pass on this joyful feeling, this pleasant excitement, to our guests; therefore, we organise a small Christmas party every Christmas Eve, with presents, a dinner, the reading of the Christmas story by the Christmas tree, and a Christmas mass. It is not only the children’s eyes that light up with joy. On New Year’s Eve, there is an elegant gala with a festive dinner, fireworks, and music until the early hours, followed by a New Year’s breakfast for late risers. On 6 January, we celebrate the day of Befana, the good witch, and the three wise men with our guests.

Nearby you will find the ski areas of Plan/Pfelders, Racines/Ratschings, Merano 2000, and Schwemmalm. A toboggan run means pure winter fun for the whole family, guaranteeing laughter, rosy cheeks, and pure happiness.

Our insider tip for the Christmas season

You don’t have to travel far in winter to find a romantic, enchanting Christmas market to stroll through. Pay a visit to our in-house Christmas market on the terrace of the Quellenhof Luxury Resort Passeier. You’ll be captivated by the Christmas forest, fragrant mulled wine stands, the sheep pen with its fluffy inhabitants, the large fireplace, and the many exhibitors offering their handcrafted products. The specially made little houses are lovingly decorated and illuminated. Look forward to our special events, such as the Krampus Run through the Christmas market, the traditional “Feuerzangenbowle” (a festive alcoholic drink) after the evening torchlit hike, and the performance of the Alphorn blowers. The Quellenhof Christmas market takes place several evenings a week from the end of November until the beginning of January.
