Hall-Wattens Tourismus

Hall-Wattens – October 29, 2026 -- Visitors to Tyrol's Hall-Wattens region can see the three oldest nativity scenes in Austria this Christmas season, and from about December 22, 2026, locals will guide them through private crib displays.

Tulfes shepherds wear Lederhosen

The village crib in Tulfes features carved wooden jointed figures with movable arms and feet. Its shepherds wear traditional Tyrolean dress, including Lederhosen, instead of Middle Eastern clothing.

The display goes up before the third Sunday of Advent and stays until shortly before Sebastian's Day on January 20. The Christ child in Tulfes parish church can be seen from December 24.

Hall and Thaur hold 17th-century cribs

The crib in Hall's Jesuit church dates to 1609 and counts among the oldest in Central Europe. The Maxnhof in Thaur holds the oldest surviving private crib, dated to the first half of the 17th century.

Hall in Tirol – September 09, 2026 -- The Hall-Wattens tourism region in Tyrol is promoting its autumn season, combining hiking trails, historic museums and a discounted two-night package starting at 98 euros.

A hike to Walderalm reveals panoramic mountain views

The Walderalm, described as one of the region's power spots, sits on a plateau offering views stretching from the Tuxer Alps to the rugged cliffs of the Karwendel range. Multiple trail options make the alm accessible for both families and more experienced hikers.

Museums fill in the gaps on rainy autumn days

The Bergbaumuseum documents the history of local salt mining, while the Münze Hall traces the origin of the first taler coin and its link to the development of the modern dollar. The Swarovski Kristallwelten in Wattens remains a recommended stop as well.
