Advent at the Seeglück Hotel Forelle
The Path of Lights in Millstatt 2024
Experience special moments of bliss during Advent on Lake Millstätter See, where seas of lights brighten up the night and magical moments light up your eyes in anticipation of Christmas Eve. Take a walk along the "Millstätter Lichterweg" in Advent and discover the glitter of lights and Christmas magic at every turn, all around the lake shore. Stroll through the lively town centre, along the peaceful lakeside, through snow-covered landscapes while artistic lights show you the way to the individual stations of the "Millstätter Lichterweg" and lead you to our Seeglück Hotel.
A break at the Lichterweg in our Seeglück Hotel Forelle
Take a short rest on your journey around Lake Millstätter See and warm up with champagne & hotpot in our Seeglück Hotel before continuing on your way. Every day from 3.12.2024 to 6.1.2025 between 12:00 and 16:00 we warmly welcome all guests in our home of time-out at the lake and invite you to a contemplative get-together.
Lichterweg Station at the Forelle
On Friday & Sunday our Seeglück Hotel becomes a Christmas craft room! From 3pm to 6pm, as part of the Advent Trail, you can take part in making door wreaths in our house with hot chocolate & delicious biscuits (at an extra charge). And if you particularly enjoyed it, you can also buy the delicious Christmas biscuits to enjoy at home.
The Happiness of the Sea in Advent
...is everywhere! Not only right inside our house, but also in the whole region and entire Carinthia, there is more than one opportunity to be charmed by the glow of lights & Christmas magic.

From November onwards, the quietest time of year begins to settle over the land. Lake Millstätter See and its holiday villages make a tranquil backdrop to the Advent season at the lake and add to the magical atmosphere. Take a stroll along the lakeside promenade, visit the Advent market on the lake or let Christmas concerts put you in the mood for the season. Enjoy some lakeside bliss this Advent!
Advent customs in the Forelle
At the Forelle, we also celebrate Advent – after all, it is the perfect opportunity for making time for togetherness and indulgence. Every year in Advent, we invite our guests to make themselves at home over a cup of tea in the Seepavillon, with a view of the lake, and to listen to Christmas stories, interspersed with stimulating conversation and laughter. This has become an Advent tradition at the Forelle.
Floating light terrace in Carinthia
Not far from the Seeglück Hotel Forelle, a magical world of lights and fragrances awaits on the Christmas terrace on the lake. This large, floating platform is home to the Café-Bistro, the Kap 4613, and is a romantic and cosy spot where you may enjoy mulled wine, “Ritschert”, hot sandwiches, baked apples and other seasonal delights, while open fireplaces spread delightful warmth. Enjoy the unique winter landscape in this wonderful setting!
Advent and Christmas customs in Carinthia
In Carinthia and throughout the Alps, Christmas comes with its very own customs and traditions. Every village organises nativity plays, "Perchten" and “Krampus” runs that bring regional customs to life. For an extensive collection of Alpine, eastern, and local nativity scenes, visit Porcia Castle.
