Another Christmas Event in Schladming: Adventzauber in der Talbachklamm
Right next to Advent am Talbach, in the neighboring Talbachklamm gorge, another highlight of the Schladminger Bergweihnacht takes place. On November 28 and December 19, 2026, the hiking trail along the Talbach stream is illuminated with light effects from 5:30 pm to 7 pm on each date. Accompanied by singing, live music and storytelling, the gorge turns into a peaceful, wild and romantic winter scene for these two evenings. In previous years, admission was around 8 euros for adults and 4 euros for children aged 6 to 14, with younger children entering free. Official 2026 prices had not yet been confirmed at the time of research, and group registrations are handled through the Schladming Dachstein tourism board.
