The next highlight was the 36th New Year’s Concert, which took place in Mallnitz on January 2, 2025.

The renowned Zalodek Ensemble with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra led by Martin Zalodek delighted the audience with an extraordinary program. Unfortunately, Laura Olivia Spengel had to cancel due to a cold.

Pro Musica Mallnitz - Music tradition since 1988

Since its foundation in 1988, Pro Musica Mallnitz has been dedicated to the cultivation and promotion of classical music. With a top-class range of concerts, Mallnitz has developed into a cultural meeting place that attracts music lovers from near and far year after year. The Mallnitz Music Summer is also part of the tradition of the classical summer resort.

The careful selection of artists always guarantees the highest quality. In combination with the impressive natural backdrop of the Hohe Tauern National Park, Pro Musica impressively demonstrates how well culture and nature complement each other.

Culture and nature - a perfect symbiosis

The Pro Musica Mallnitz music festival is an example of how the beauty of nature and the art of music merge to create a unique experience. The majestic mountain world and the classical sounds create an atmosphere that inspires and touches in equal measure.

The concerts at the turn of the year 2024/25 have once again shown why Pro Musica Mallnitz is known far beyond the borders of Mallnitz.

Winter in Mallnitz is not only known for its breathtaking nature and the many possibilities for a winter vacation, but also for its deep-rooted traditions. A special highlight is the Perchtenmania – a spectacular event that brings the old customs of the Krampus and Perchten to life in an impressive way.

Krampus run in Mallnitz - an experience full of mysticism

The Krampus parade is the highlight of Perchtenmania. With terrifying masks and elaborately designed costumes, the Krampuses parade through the streets of Mallnitz town center. The traditional spectacle is not only an experience for locals and guests, but also attracts numerous visitors every year who want to experience this ancient custom up close.

The next Krampus run as part of the Perchtenmania takes place today on Friday, December 27, 2024 . The spectacle starts at 19:30 in the center of Mallnitz (attention road closure with detour from 18:00 for motor vehicles) and offers visitors the opportunity to marvel at the impressive figures and their rituals.
