When the lake grows calm, lights shimmer along the shore, and the scent of mulled wine fills the air, the most beautiful time of the year begins at Lake Attersee.
Here, where the ORANGE LOUNGE  is at home, Advent unfolds its own kind of magic – with sparkling lights, festive music, and moments full of warmth and peace.

Into the Christmas Season by Boat ✨

Just a few steps from the Orange Lounge, the festively decorated Klimt-Mahler ship sets sail.
On all Advent Saturdays – November 29, December 6, 13 and 20, 2025 – you can embark on a winter cruise across the tranquil Attersee.

On board: a hot drink, Christmas music, and the feeling of being right in the heart of the festive season.
A short stop in Seewalchen invites guests to visit the local Advent market – featuring regional delicacies, handmade crafts, and warm mulled wine.
A special highlight is the final cruise, when candles are lit at dusk and the ship glides back to Attersee under a soft evening glow.

An Experience for All the Senses

While the lake lies still and the lights of the villages dance across the water, the warmth of the mulled wine and the gentle Christmas tunes on board create a truly special atmosphere.
This cruise is more than an excursion – it’s a little escape, a quiet moment in the midst of the pre-Christmas season.

​

Our guests can start this experience right outside the door: simply wrap up warm, stroll down to the pier in Weyregg, and step aboard – no car, no rush, just pure holiday spirit.
Back at the Orange Lounge, unwind in the warm whirlpool, gaze at the lights across the lake, and feel how close Christmas suddenly seems.

Christmas in the Salzkammergut 🎄🍷✨

​

A cup of hot mulled wine, the scent of cinnamon, pine, and gingerbread in the air – the Salzkammergut is pure enchantment during the Advent season.

Throughout the region, magical Christmas markets invite you to stroll, browse, and enjoy – each with its own atmosphere, each a little world of festive charm.

Whether by the lake, in historic old towns, or on snow-covered village squares between the mountains, every market is worth a visit.

Most markets open from mid-November to early January, filling the region with light, music, and seasonal cheer.
