Every year during Advent the city of Vipiteno sets up its traditional Christmas market. The wooden houses are decorated with passion and love and turn the main square into a romantic place from the end of November to 6 January. The Torre delle Dodici overlooks the whole venue. Christmas lights, oriels and the bell sounds envelop the town of Vipiteno in a special atmosphere. The carillon of the Torre delle Dodici has been ringing out for a few years. It is composed of 25 bells produced by the renowned Grassmayr bell foundry from Innsbruck.
The carillon was composed by the local musician and composer Josef Haller. At the stalls near the tower you will find a huge variety of ideas for presents, handicrafts, winter products and Christmas decorations.
The Natale delle Campane (Bell Christmas) also boasts a rich entertainment programme, including the traditional Krampus parade and a night sledging adventure on Monte Cavallo which is organised starting from the end of the year. End your day with a warm cup of mulled wine or apple juice and a piece of "Zelten". Like all the biggest Christmas markets of South Tyrol, also the one of Vipiteno has been awarded the Green Event certificate which testifies its engagement for the environment.
