The traditional markets in the Venosta Valley take place on specific days of the year and represent a
social event for locals as well as visitors.
In the spring, a popular
garden market is held in the small town of
Glorenza/Glurns and the
Londsproch market in Coldrano/Goldrain.
In Malles/Mals,
the Georgimarkt market takes place in April, the
Garten- & Genussmarkt market in Castelbello/Kastelbell in May and the
Arcades Market of Glorenza in June. The
St. Veith market in Tarces/Tartsch and the traditional
St. Johann "Sonnta-Hons" market in Prato/Prad follow. Visitors should also not miss the gourmet market and the famous
Palabiramarkt market in Glorenza in September.
In the autumn the market series begins with the
Matthiasmarkt market in Prato. The traditional
Gollimorkt market in Malles takes place in October, which dates to the granting of permission by Catherine de Medici in the 16th century, as does the traditional
Lootscher Market in Laudes/Laatsch. Every year in November, the entire valley meets at the
Sealamorkt, the traditional All Souls’ market held
in Glorenza. The
Katharinamarkt market takes place in the neighboring town of
Schluderns/Sluderno. A highlight of the upcoming Advent season is the
"Licht-Düfte-Klänge" Advent market in Glurns, but also the
Christmas Market in Silandro/Schlanders.
