The most beautiful anticipation of Christmas for children is certainly writing the wish list to the Christ Child with all the gifts that you would like to unwrap under the tree on Christmas Eve. What could be more magical than writing and sending the wish list directly at the Advent market? Direct delivery to the Christ Child is virtually guaranteed in this festive environment.

Like every year, this year the popular Christkindlpost from Kitzbühel Tourism will take place again. Our Kitzbühel Christkindlpost is located by the carriage in the courtyard of the district administration building.

When evening falls and the city center shines in a festive glow of lights, get enchanted by the magical sounds of the Kitzbühel carillon - every Wednesday to Sunday at 8.00 p.m.. For more than 70 years, the carillon of St. Catherine's Church has been illuminating Kitzbühel's city center twice a day and also during Advent, carillonneur Rosmarie Sathrum will let the lovely melody resound over the city. For Rosemarie, the Turmstüberl in the bell tower is a place of peace and quiet - perfect for the reflective pre-Christmas season.

The Wiltener Sängerknaben from Innsbruck is one of the most traditional and oldest boys' choirs in Europe and one of the best of its kind in the world. Their history goes back to the 13th century.

As a Tyrolean choir, the Wiltener Sängerknaben are committed to the tradition of authentic folk songs. And so yodels and folk songs from the Alpine region, as well as sacred folk songs - especially at Advent and Christmas time - are frequently found in the choir programs.
