In Obertraun on Lake Hallstatt, the Christ Child will open the new winter season shortly before Christmas Eve on 21th December 2024 in the FreeSports Arena on the 2000m high Krippenstein. The opening hours are set, now all that remains is for the snow to fall in time. The editorial team wishes you a nice and relaxed winter season 2024/25.
