With the year winding down, snow blankets the rooftops. As the fragrances of cinnamon, anise and Christmas cookies along with atmospheric illuminations get us in the perfect mood for the Christmas holidays, this is when you should definitely spend the most peaceful time of the year here with us at the MorgenZeit. You see: Here in the Hochkönig Region, we celebrate Advent with authentic traditions and open hearts, Advent concerts, mystical stories and even a maze of lights. Experience the snowy lanes running through the picture-book village of Maria Alm. With the smell of gingerbread and mulled wine in the air and gentle Christmas music doing full honor to this season of peace, even the most avid of winter sports fans will pause for reflection.

Fresh, regional products play a big role at the MorgenZeit. Our cheeses, for example, come from right here in Maria Alm, from Hofkäserei Onemoos. The milk they put into their cheeses there quite literally comes straight from many happy cows, cows that love to be spoiled and petted by children. This family-run business invests boundless love in every detail of their products, something you can taste immediately and just one reason we value their cheeses so much.

Want to enjoy the “flavor” of the MorgenZeit in your own home? We are happy to share contact information for select regional producers with you. Many of them have their own farm-direct shops. Their products are also wonderful tokens of love to take with you as souvenirs or gifts:
