Advent at the Seeglück Hotel Forelle
Advent Highlight 2023 - Path of Lights
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.

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!
