Advent in Velden: the "Town of Angels" on Lake Wörthersee

When the evenings draw in, Velden turns into the "Town of Angels". In 2026 the Velden Advent market opens on 20 November and runs on the Advent weekends. Its landmark is the floating Advent wreath in Velden bay, glowing far out across the lake.

For families

Children can enjoy the children's Advent in the spa park, an angels' post office and an angels' bakery. An Advent boat trip takes you out onto the winter lake.

With your dog

Dogs are welcome at the Velden Advent market, and there is even a dedicated dog Advent ("Fellnasen-Advent") by the castle. Back at the chalet, the fenced garden is waiting.

Our tip

Advent market in the afternoon, back to the tiled stove in the evening. Velden is just a few minutes from Panoramaweg, and at night it is perfectly quiet again.
