Nürnberger Winterhütten hosts company Christmas parties, team evenings, kick-off events and belated year-end celebrations for groups ranging from a small team to about 1,000 guests. The venue is a seasonal winter village of authentic Zillertal alpine huts, open from October to March on the grounds of Nuremberg Airport in Nürnberg, Bavaria, and run by the event company werk :b events.
Seminars and company events
Most bookings are company Christmas parties. Smaller teams share the village with other groups, while parties of roughly 100 people or more can book a hut exclusively, and large firms can take the whole site. The organizers also host trade fair evenings, workshops and business events, as well as private occasions. A typical evening starts at 5:30 p.m. with hot drinks around a bonfire and snacks from the small Christmas market, such as the house bratwurst and a pumpkin and orange soup. The buffet opens after the ceremonial tapping of the beer keg, with live hut music, and a DJ takes over in the party barn from 9 p.m. The evening winds down at 11 p.m. On request, the team adds logo branding, gifts for guests and a professional photographer. Between dinner and dancing, guests can try the ice-stock lane, a Bavarian cousin of curling.
Rooms and capacities
The village includes six named huts and a party barn. The Josef ALM and the Ziegen ALM, each 15 by 15 meters, take 180 to 200 guests. The Heidi ALM, 10 by 20 meters, takes 150 to 170. The Peter ALM and the Klara ALM, also 10 by 20 meters, take 50 to 170. The Großvater ALM, 15 by 10 meters, takes 80 to 100. The Stadl, the party barn, holds up to 350 standing guests. In total the village welcomes up to 1,000 people. The site gives varying hut counts across its sections, so the exact layout for a given season is worth confirming when asking for dates.
Catering
Catering is included and run by the venue. The buffet combines breads and spreads, soups, several salads, and mains such as goulash, roast pork, salmon and Käsespätzle, with side dishes and desserts like Kaiserschmarren and a candy bar. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and allergies or special requests should be flagged in advance. The drinks package covers Erdinger beers, wine, soft drinks and coffee, with sparkling wine, Prosecco, spritz, schnapps and cocktails as options.
History and setting
The huts come from the Zillertal valley in Tyrol and are set up each winter as a small alpine village, with a Christmas market, an ice-stock lane, a bonfire and live hut music. The site flags mid-December weekday evenings, such as December 10, as the most requested dates, so groups planning a December party should ask early.
Getting there
The address is Flughafenstraße 100, 90411 Nürnberg, on the airport grounds. The U2 subway line stops at Flughafen station, a short walk away, and several bus lines serve the area. Parking is available on site, including the P3 garage at an event rate. Guests flying in for the evening land at Nuremberg Airport, next to the huts.
