For more than half a century, the "Nikolauskommitee Schlanders" has been introducing the old South Tyrolean tradition of St. Nicholas parade. Passing the retirement home and the hospital, St. Nicholas runs with his carriage through the center to the Plawennpark, where the celebration ends.
From 2 pm more than 100 "Krampus" are around in the pedestrian Zone of Silandro.
From 5 pm St. Nicholas parade
St Nicholas procession with little Krampuses in Lana. The idea of taking away the fear of Krampus from the youngest children in our village at an early age bore great fruit last year. St. Nicholas will parade through the Gries with his little entourage on 6 December and distribute his gifts to the children at the Thalerhof, from the Capuchin church in Lana at 5.00 pm.
One of the most magical and eagerly awaited traditions of the Christmas season is the arrival of St. Nicholas. He is a wise and kind old man and brings light and warmth during this festive season.
Today he awaits you, accompanied by his little angels, to give you a small gift.
After the arrival of Saint Nicholas, there will also be the opportunity to enjoy a warming mulled wine or a hot tea.
