 A shiny winter world makes Christmas dreams come true in Freimann



Anyone who loves it romantic, nostalgic and traditional will walk through this winter world with shining eyes. The nostalgic carousel and ice skating rink (with shoe rental on site) measures 10 x 20 meters. There is a curling rink that groups can book exclusively and a glittering Ferris wheel. Music and live acts come from a stage in an old train carriage. And Santa Claus floats through the air twice a day. Children can whisper their wishes in his ear.
 

Christmas workshop, children's day on Wednesday and children's birthdays


"Winterworld offers everything that makes children especially happy at Christmas: glitter and sparkle as far as the eye can see and the opportunity to meet Santa Claus. This happens every day at 6 and 8 p.m. when he "flies in" on the old one Train wagon lands and rappels down to the children. Or in the Christmas workshop, which is designed like a living room with a fireplace, heavy velvet curtains, Christmas tree and other decorations. Children can whisper their wishes into Santa Claus' ear, hand in wish lists, recite poems or together On December 6th, Santa Claus will of course visit Winterworld with a bulging sack and hand out child-friendly gifts. On Sundays and Wednesdays, there will also be group crafts and face painting. This can also be booked for birthday children who are celebrating their children's birthday party with their friends would like to celebrate in a chalet in the Winter Village.

Every Wednesday, special children's days take place in Winterworld, which ensure Christmas magic with child-friendly activities and surprises as well as particularly affordable rates."

The Glühweinalm offers new mulled wine creations with names like “Hot Willi”, “Hot Apple Strudel” or “White Christmas”. The hot drinks are of course served in specially designed printed glasses with handles.
