EVENTS IN BRIXEN.
If you are staying with us, hardly a day goes by without you being able to take part in one of the numerous events in Brixen. In spring, white wine meets white mountains. In summer things get sporty, in autumn it's all about rustic pleasure and in winter the Christmas market awakens emotions from days gone bye. Take a look at the most beautiful and most popular events in Brixen and look forward to your own wow moments in the episcopal town.
The lights of the town sparkle in the valley, silence reigns on the mountain. During the Plose Nights, which take place every Friday from January to March, the Plose cable car runs until 11 pm. Then you have the opportunity to hike to one of the mountain huts in the moonlight or go down the floodlit RudiRun toboggan run. Unforgettable!
January - beginning of March
How do snow and wine go together? Wonderfully well actually! As part of the “Snow and Wine” event series, sommeliers or winemakers accompany you on guided wine tours on the Plose or to the alpine pastures of Villnöss, Villanders and Gitschberg-Jochtal. You can enjoy Eisacktal white wines with culinary delicacies and a view of the snowy landscape from the alpine huts.
March
The Water Light Festival is one of the most popular events in Brixen. Light artists from all over the world transform the town into a sea of lights in the evenings. There are also fantastic light installations to admire throughout the old town. A trail guides visitors through the festival, which also addresses ecological, economic and social aspects relating to water and light.
Mid May
Mountains move us. From mid to late May, a series of events is dedicated to the rocky giants. Experience the sunrise from the summit, visit the mountain farmers or hike through the wild Rienzschlucht gorge: a packed outdoor programme invites you to explore and experience the mountains in a new light.
Mid - end of May
