When the streets of Lech are decorated and illuminated for Christmas and the scent of mulled wine and festive treats fills the air, the Advent season has arrived in the Arlberg region. The Christmas markets in Lech, Zürs and Zug invite visitors to enjoy regional specialities, mulled wine and a varied Advent programme. Christmas concerts, lantern walks and traditional events create a festive atmosphere.
For guests staying at the Hotel Tannbergerhof, the Lech Christmas market is right on the doorstep. Thanks to the hotel's central location, the village square is just a few steps away. The Advent markets in Zürs and Zug are also easily accessible by bus. This makes it easy to combine the festive season with a winter holiday in Lech am Arlberg.
The Lech Christmas Market will take place on Kirchplatz from 11 to 13 December and from 18 to 20 December 2026. The square is just a few steps away from the Hotel Tannbergerhof. At the market stalls, you can look forward to regional specialities, punch, mulled wine and handmade products. Festively decorated stalls and fire pits create a cosy atmosphere in the town centre.
After a stroll through the market, the Tannbergerhof invites you to enjoy a glass of champagne, a hot chocolate or some homemade egg liqueur at the outdoor bar, or to have dinner at the Martinstüberl restaurant.
In the idyllic Zug Valley, just a short distance from Lech, a charming traditional Christmas market awaits. The Christmas market in Zug takes place once a year in December, welcoming visitors from 3 pm to 7 pm. Surrounded by impressive mountain scenery, the market offers regional specialities, handmade gifts and festive Advent music. Open fire pits provide warmth and create a cosy atmosphere, making the market a special experience during the Advent season.
Round off your visit with a winter walk through the picturesque Zug Valley back to Lech. Afterwards, unwind and warm up in the wellness and sauna area at Hotel Tannbergerhof.
On 21 and 22 December 2026, the Advent market will take place at Edelweißplatz in Zürs. At around 1,700 metres above sea level, you can look forward to festive market stalls offering mulled wine, children’s punch and a variety of specialities. The culinary offerings range from roasted almonds and sausages to bao buns with pulled pork and kimchi. Entertainment will be provided by the Mountain Dance Academy from Lech with a dance performance. The Advent market also offers a varied programme for families with children.
The Tannbergerhof is the ideal place to enjoy this special time of year to the full. After visiting the various Christmas markets in Lech and the surrounding area, you can warm both body and soul in the hotel’s saunas. Dinner at the Martinstüberl restaurant, which has been awarded two toques, or at the Tannberg Stube restaurant is the perfect way to round off the day. The three bars at the Hotel Tannbergerhof serve winter drinks, whether classic or non-alcoholic, and the covered terrace offers the most beautiful view of the winter festivities. When you stand outside in Lech on a December evening, whilst snowflakes fall softly and church bells ring in the distance, you know: there is no better place to experience Christmas.
As well as relaxing snowshoe walks or alpaca treks through the unique winter landscape, Lech has plenty to offer in the run-up to Christmas: enjoy a variety of Christmas concerts, lantern walks, the Lech alphorn players, Christmas readings, the sound fireworks display or the New Year’s concert.
Combine your visit with a short break at the Tannbergerhof. Two to three nights’ stay over one of the Christmas market weekends is ideal. Stroll through the snow-covered village, visit the market in Lech or go on a winter hike to Zug.
