December Holidays in Schenna near Meran

In Schenna near Meran, winter turns into a season of quiet joy – filled with warmth, light, and authentic traditions. The weeks leading up to Christmas bring a unique kind of magic: cozy, genuine, and rich in flavor.

During the Advent season, the historic halls of Schenna Castle come alive as festive spirit meets culinary heritage under the theme “Dishes with a Story.” The LUMAGICA Light Park at the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle in Meran transforms winter evenings into a glowing wonderland. And in the heart of Schenna, the village ice rink shimmers with twinkling lights, inviting you to skate to music, sip hot drinks, and soak up the joyful holiday vibe.

Step beyond the lights and markets, and discover the many ways Schenna brings winter to life. Stroll along snow-free trails around the village, or step into the stillness of snowy forests with snowshoes in the Hirzer hiking area. Speed down a toboggan run or carve graceful turns at the nearby Meran 2000 ski area – all while taking in breathtaking views of the winter mountainscape.
