During the Advent season and up until Epiphany on January 6th, the town of Laives/Leifers transforms into an atmospheric nativity scene paradise.
Nativity Scene Trail from 30.11.2024 to 06.01.2025 In the town center, along the streets Via Kennedy and Via Pietralba, shops decorate their windows with lovingly handcrafted nativity scenes selected and provided by the "Leiferer Krippenfreunde" association. This
nativity scene trail invites visitors to discover the diversity and creativity of nativity scene culture and immerse themselves in the festive spirit. The route of the nativity scene trail and the list of participating shops can be found at
