Advent in Mariazell

'Advent' means arrival. Advent in Mariazell means arriving at the AKTIVHOTEL Weisser Hirsch. 

Austria's most popular christmas market, which attracts some 100,000 visitors each year, is made even more atmospheric if you're staying at our 4-star establishment in the heart of Mariazell.  

Relax and take in the hotel's cosiness, re-charge your batteries in our wellness area, and take a glass of punch outside and watch the snowflakes fall. There's a little winter wonderland behind every corner in Mariazell.

You will find our Advent-Special  here.

... Advent as it was in former times

Away from the Christmas rush, you can experience another Advent in Mariazell, when the fragrant of vanilla and punch wafts through the streets. Stroll through the Christmas Mariazell, past pretty small shops - where it is quiet and contemplative in the Advent season .
