Winter solstice in the Alps - CANCELLED

The winter solstice has always been celebrated by wide variety of cultures, when the death of the old and the birth of the new year is feted.
 
The night between the 21st and the 22nd of December is the longest night of the year and the sun is at its lowest point in the sky. After the shortest day of the year, the sun gradually regains strength and the days become longer. A new year is beginning.

A cozy torchlight hike through the snow-covered Fusch valley is accompanied by atmospheric music and many other small highlights. The final stage is the Isidor Griessner Park, where wish branches are thrown into the fire and "Perchten" drove away all the old burdens while drinking punch and enjoying a convivial get-together.
