The biggest Krampus show at the Latschenwirt is live, emotional, overwhelming and full of goosebump moments.

Only two nights – tickets sell out early every year
Intro
When the mountain calls, the fire answers.
IN CULINA DIABOLI carries you away into a night between folklore and fantasy. Over a hundred Krampusse, mysterious figures and international actors populate the scenery. Krampusse glide down from the night sky while spectacular stunts and specially created fire images blur the boundaries of reality.
Yet the devil's kitchen is closer than we think. It grows where greed displaces goodness, envy darkens hearts and the ego leaves no room for others. And so this night also tells of our world – and of the values that bind us together.
Follow the call of the mountain. Celebrate with us a festival of tradition that gets under your skin and resonates long after.

The Film
THE AFTERMOVIE
A year of fire, smoke and legends – the official aftermovie of the Krampus Show at Mount Untersberg.
The Power Place
Myth of Untersberg
No mountain in the Alps is wrapped in as many legends as the Untersberg near Großgmain. Sleeping emperors in hidden caves, time phenomena, wild spirits – the mountain is said to hold magical power. The Krampus Show pulls this mysticism from legend straight into the arena.
