Silent Advent in Pörtschach

Experience Advent in its quietest and most atmospheric form: A very special Advent trail awaits you in Pörtschach in 2025, lovingly designed with acoustic music, warm glowing lights and many small details that touch the heart.

Carinthia's first barrier-free Advent invites everyone to enjoy the pre-Christmas period in a decelerated, magical ambience. Highlights include the romantic starry sea cruise through Pörtschach Bay, a living nativity scene at Landspitz and a storyteller who takes children on magical fantasy journeys around Lake Wörthersee.

In culinary terms, the Silent Advent delights with regional Christmas fish and the specially created Pörtschach mulled wine, which warms the body and soul.

SAVE THE DATE

At the 10th Vespa Days in Pörtschach , you can once again expect great rides, delicious delicacies and a varied supporting programme.

In recent years, participants have been able to experience many highlights of our region. From great views from the Magdalensberg or the Pyramidenkogel, to the spectacular eagle flight show at Landskron Castle, to an exclusive trip around the world on the "Little Vespa World Tour" at Minimundus in Klagenfurt. The Vespa Days in Pörtschach have already inspired many hundreds of Vespisti from Austria, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

At the beginning of June 2026, it will be that time again when we welcome our guests to the shores of the turquoise-blue Wörthersee and the Mediterranean lifestyle of the Vespa cult takes hold in the streets of Pörtschach.

We look forward to seeing lots of people again and, of course, many new faces. So register in good time and be there when it's all Vespa again!
