Christmas fairy-tale atmosphere

This year the Sterntaler Christmas Market in Lana looks set to be even more congenial than previously.

Hosting some 20 stalls, this picturesque historical setting will undoubtedly contribute to the special atmosphere.

Miniature pine trees laden with shiny red baubles and the enchanting decorative illumination adorning the intricate stands, exhibit authentic South Tyrolean handicraf.

On New Jear's Eve, the food stands laden with local Christma delights will remain open until 1.00 am.
