Ossana

Autonomous Province of Trento · Trentino-South Tyrol · Italy

Admission and costs
The village nativity trail and admission to Castello San Michele are distinct parts of the visit. The castle has its own ticket and conditions; food, purchases and special activities are not covered by one combined general admission.
Getting there
Leave the Trento–Malé–Mezzana railway at Mezzana and continue on the regional bus towards Passo Tonale, serving Ossana. Drivers are directed in from Cusiano to car parks P1 and P2; organised coaches use separate drop-off and parking arrangements.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
San Vigilio church in central Ossana provides a short indoor sacred-art stop during religious openings. The wider nativity trail remains outdoors; the church is a brief alternative rather than a completely sheltered day out.
Where to park
Approach via Cusiano for car parks P1 and P2. The school car park in Fucine is free, about a ten-minute walk from the castle. The town hall and former primary school car parks charge in December and January.
Route and accessibility
Reserved spaces are available at the town hall and the former primary school. A steep approach and rocky ground limit access to Castello San Michele for visitors with reduced mobility.

Christmas in everyday life

The Singing Christmas Tree in Werdmühleplatz, Zurich, in an archive press photograph. This is not a performance from the 2026 edition.
TO DISCOVER

In Zurich the Christmas tree really sings. And you want to leave!

Red capes, green branches and dozens of voices: the Singing Christmas Tree is also a tree made of people. From 19 November to 23 December 2026 a square in the heart of Zurich is once again filled with music. And the concerts are free.

TO DISCOVER

CHRISTMAS: THERE IS MORE THAN ONE STORY IN THE NATIVITY SCENE!

Shepherds and Magi meet in our cribs. In the Gospels, they come from two different stories waiting to be discovered.
