In Castelrotto, at the foot of Alpe di Siusi, December means Christmas Market. The municipality that stretches from Valle Isarco to Val di Fassa and to Val Gardena hosts from December 6 to 29 2024 a small but typical market along its streets, in the shade of its majestic baroque tower, with stands that offer handicrafts and tasty local specialties, all accompanied by Advent music.
At the Christmas Market in Castelrotto you can buy cinnamon and gingerbread biscuits, warm up with some mulled wine or taste traditional Zelten, Stollen and Spekulatius. All surrounded by stands full of hand-made gift ideas: jams, felt products, candles, floral decorations.
