Light Magic
General Information
The "Lichterzauber Bürgeralpe" transforms the Mariazell mountain into a sparkling winter wonderland. After riding the cable car, the well-known lumberjack land reveals itself in a completely new light – winding paths of light, glittering trees, a mysteriously shimmering lake, and as a highlight, an impressive sound-to-light laser show at the observation tower.
The enchanting experience is accompanied by culinary delights in the mountain inn and fine hot drinks in the forest's ark by the mountain lake.
To conclude, the cable car ride takes you back to the valley, or you can enjoy our night tobogganing under floodlights.
Additional Tip: Celebrate your individually designed Christmas party with culinary catering and an appropriate supporting program. Enjoy the ride to the festively illuminated Bürgeralpe and experience the magical winter atmosphere of the Lichterzauber. A unique experience above the rooftops of Mariazell.
