Christmas at Lake Traunsee is pure magic. Crisp winter air, snow-covered mountains, and shimmering water create an atmosphere you’ll never forget. At Hotel Post am See in Traunkirchen, winter in the Salzkammergut becomes an experience filled with cozy vibes and inspiring moments – sometimes calm, sometimes active, always in style.

 

Tradition with a twist.

Or you can go on the Kripperlroas with Wolfgang Gröller - a short tour through artistic nativity scenes and living craftsmanship. Authentic Christmas vibes, step by step.
