It’s getting colder outside, and winter is only just around the corner.  After an extraordinary year, this winter is going to be a slightly different one.  Mayrhofen Advent at the Forest Festival Area is also an extraordinary occasion.  A tranquil affair, where people love to meet and mingle, whilst getting in the mood for the festive season.  But much is different this year and, for this reason, Advent at the Forest Festival Area is taking a break.

Regulations for the event would be extensive and complex.  Ranging from social distancing, prevention and safety concepts, appropriate service or the consumption of food and drinks while seated, to limited numbers of attendees.  Regulations and restrictions, which would affect the original character of Advent at the Forest Festival Area, as the very essence of this event is about getting together, catching up with old friends and quietly preparing for Christmas.

After close consultations with the associations involved, who have been the very backbone of Mayrhofen Advent for the past 10 years, Mayrhofen Tourist Board has decided to shelve Advent at the Forest Festival Area this year.

Advent will still be celebrated, however, in the Mayrhofen-Hippach holiday region.  In a calm and contemplative manner, in the various restaurants, during a leisurely browse through the numerous shops or totally relaxed whilst enjoying the first runs on the ski slopes.  It may be a slightly different start to the season, but everyone will have the opportunity to turn it into a special experience and create their very own memorable moments.
