Take part in one of the many traditional yearly festivals:

Berigln - As the sun sets on the evening of January 5th, masked figures, dressed to embody winter spirits, travel from door to door. Local farmers and residents invite them in for a something to eat, such as Bauernkrapfen[1], which is usually then washed down with several home-made shots of Schnapps.

Fasching (Fat Tuesday) - The festivities culminate on Fat Tuesday, when a grand parade is held in town. The various troupes of costumed locals, including the Trommelweiber, the Fischer, and the gorgeous Flinserl, add color and provide entertainment.

Narzissenfest[2] - A much-loved spring festival occuring towards the end of May/beginning of June. Floats are created by local residents and decorated with the native Narzissen flower. After a parade through town, their are launched onto either Lake Grundlsee or Lake Altausssee.

  • Ausseer Lebkuchen

Night-life in Bad Aussee centers around a number of clubs, wine bars and pubs:

Vinothek Anna Max is a chic, up-scale wine bar offering a range of primarily Austrian wines. On Friday night, they open their doors until late in the evening. Salzhaus[3] is a night club located in one of the old storage houses used for salt production. There are actually three establishments under one roof: a pizzeria, a lounge, and a dance club. Steirerhof, shortened and commonly used Hof, is the late-night staple for most locals. It is located downtown and usually the last stop for a night of revelries.
