In the months of Advent and winter the Bürgeralpe becomes, as evening falls, a trail of lights through the snowy forest at 1,270 metres, beside the mountain lake. You go up on the cable car, stroll for about an hour and come down whenever you like. It is open from 16:30 to 19:45: Thursday to Sunday between 19 November and 20 December 2026, daily at Christmas and on Saturdays and Wednesdays until 6 February. Tickets are bought by time slot; at weekends it sells out, but at the valley ticket office tickets are sold right to the end. Combine the lights with the village Advent market.
