Why Join Our Krampus Tour?
We have over 10 years of experience taking the unworthy to be judged by St. Nicholas and his Krampus. Krampus combines many pagan figures and traditions, but in Tyrol and Oberbayern he is the tool of St. Nicholas, bringing fear to the children who have disobeyed their parents while Nicholas brings oranges, cinnamon sticks, and candy to the good children.
Our three-day trip is the original Krampus experience of its kind. You’ll see the lighter side of Krampus, the most traditional side, and then the truly terrifying, as St. Nicholas leads the demons through the streets to drive out evil. It’s an insane cultural event and not to be missed!
