During the Advent season, Ortisei is wrapped in Christmas magic and transforms into a fairytale village. Countless lights make the Christmas market in Selva di Val Gardena shine brightly. In Santa Cristina, the life-sized hand-carved wooden nativity scene tells a story of living tradition throughout the year, complemented during the Christmas season by an additional nativity scene set up in the church square. Together, they bear witness to the valley’s masterful tradition of wood carving.
