Wintertollwood
This popular winter festival on the Theresienwiese - and therefore very close to our Boutique Hotel Atrium Munich - will inspire you: Tollwood combines cultural enjoyment in all its facets with ecological and social commitment. Here you will find impressive arts and crafts, international cuisine, live music and atmospheric light and art installations in various large tents and at numerous outdoor stands: Large-scale sculptures, light acts and fire art come together to create a heavenly overall concept with an annually changing theme at this artistically designed open-air environmental action venue.
The live acts taking place in tents on the festival site create a particularly atmospheric atmosphere. These include well-known German bands such as Revolverheld and SPD as well as internationally renowned artists such as Lionel Richie and Sunrise Avenue.
Since the first festival in 1988, sustainability has been at the heart of the festival. This is expressed in the endeavor not only to keep Tollwood's ecological footprint as small as possible, but also to offer reflected and innovative suggestions for a sustainable future with the help of the festival design beyond the boundaries of Tollwood. With topics ranging from recycling and fair trade to animal welfare and high food quality, this winter festival covers a broad spectrum of fields of action. At Wintertollwood, stimulating impulses to rethink and act meet cultural enjoyment in a magical winter atmosphere.

Winter delights in the English Garden
If you want to make your children happy or awaken your inner child on your trip to Munich in winter, you will find numerous mountains, hills and slopes for tobogganing if the snow conditions are right. The small slope at the Monopteros in the English Garden with its short descent is a great place to start for children or those who have had a bit of practice.
Our ultimate insider tip for warming up and relaxing is the Milchhäusl, just a few hundred meters away: in this quirky little café, you can enjoy your hot chocolate or mulled wine in a gondola that has been converted into a seating area. If the temperatures prevent you from going sledging, a romantic carriage ride through the extensive tree-lined avenues of the English Garden is sure to put you in a magical winter mood. You can also watch die-hard surfers in wetsuits surfing at the so-called Eisbach wave, even in winter temperatures.
Incidentally, if you want to have fun sledging on Munich's highest "mountain", you can head to the Olympiaberg: With a fantastic view over Munich, a view of the Olympic Tower and lake and a steep descent, the hill is the most popular place for sledging. Equally recommended are the hilly landscapes of the following places: the small toboggan run on Michaelihügel in Berg am Laim, West- and Ostpark, Messestadt and Luitpoldpark.
Christmas markets
If your trip takes you to Munich during the magical pre-Christmas period, our city awaits you with a diverse and rich offering of Christmas markets in Munich. Contemplation and romance meet Christmas delicacies and top-class arts and crafts at Munich's Christmas markets, preparing you for the most wonderful time of the year in an atmospheric setting.
Ice skating under the floodlights of the Prinzregentenstadion
Whether you want to whizz across the ice, just do a few laps or even perform pirouettes: In winter, Munich offers various opportunities to glide across the ice. The Prinzregenten and Olympia ice stadiums even offer the opportunity to skate to music and floodlights at weekends as part of special programs. In the latter case, your disco evening skate is accompanied by a music program specific to the evening in question: with a selection of oldies and classics, charts or the evening of your own individual song requests, the music will get your skating skills going.
The East and West Ice Sports Center and the Grünwalder Leisure Park are also excellent places to explore while ice skating on your trip to Munich in winter. If the precipitation conditions allow, we recommend skating on the frozen Nymphenburg Canal in a romantic winter atmosphere. Nymphenburg Palace Munich or the Kleinhesseloher See to glide over the ice.
