Also this year, a festively glowing train set will make its way through the wintry mountain forests all the way up to the Schafbergalm station (middle station) at 1,364 m above sea level. There you will not only find an decorated kiosk and hot drinks but also an impressive view over the magical landscape of the Salzkammergut.

Christmas locomotive with a Christmas look

You are sure to be magically surprised! Also this year, a whole train on the SchafbergBahn cog railway will be fully decked out for Christmas. Many, many small lights will turn the train into a festive attraction in its own right, guaranteed to light up the eyes of visitors big and small. An experience that is just as spectacular up-close as it is from a distance, with the illuminated train chugging slowly but surely up the mountain. Literally taking the enchantment of Advent to whole new heights.

NEW: THREE KINGS EXPERIENCE TRAIL

With the new Three Kings Experience Trail along the SchafbergBahn cog railway in St. Wolfgang, the story of the search of the three wise men for the baby Jesus becomes an inspiring experience for young and old. You, too, will embark on a journey full of rewarding impressions on the Schafbergbahn's Advent steam train. At an altitude of 1,364 meters, on the Schafbergalm, the life-size nativity figures of the Three Wise Men appear at the beginning of Advent in Wolfgangsee. To admire. To get in the mood for the symbolic journey.

Advent Program at the Schafbergalm

Every weekend during Advent, a lovingly designed side-program greets inquisitive visitors at the Schafbergalm station - with attractions for the whole family: You can look forward to a Christmas quintet along with a delightful medley of instrumental Christmas songs.

It isn’t only the youngsters who are eager for the St. Nicholas and Christkind train rides, since sweet surprises await all passengers on both excursions. The side-program is included in the regular tickets of SchafbergBahn cog railway.
