Motorworld München opened Winterworld, the first Christmas market of the season. There are almost seven weeks left until Christmas, and guests can visit the site until December 20.
What can be seen on the grounds
Winterworld has spread out across the Motorworld grounds in the Freimann district. A Christmas market, rides, restaurants and event spaces are operating here. The fair’s organizers named another attraction. According to them, the market features the world’s largest so-called “talking moose.” It is not clear, however, according to whose version it is the largest.
Children will find a carousel, a children’s railway and a Christmas workshop, and Santa Claus – that is, Weihnachtsmann – visits the site every day.
Four ice-stock lanes
Winterworld is designed for various groups: the organizers offer a venue for corporate events and after-work gatherings with colleagues. For groups, four lanes for ice stock, a Bavarian winter sport that resembles curling, have been prepared. Each lane has its own hut where clothing and equipment can be left and a group can gather.
Motorworld Winterworld Alm also operates for Christmas corporate parties, and this year it accommodates up to 200 guests. Heated chalets of various sizes can additionally be booked. On Sundays from 11:00, Advent brunches are held here.
Food and drinks
The refreshments are gathered around Meckatzer Alm, in the Wintervillage area. Guests are offered mulled wine, other winter drinks and festive dishes, and this year’s novelty is salmon freshly prepared over an open fire.
How to get there
Motorworld is located in the Freimann district, and there are several ways to get there:
by metro on line U6 to Freimann station;
by buses 178 and 140 to the Edmund-Rumpler-Straße stop;
by car: the exit from the A9 motorway connects directly to the site, and there is a parking lot on the grounds.
Why this matters
The Christmas market opened almost three weeks before the first Advent, which in 2026 falls on November 29, and closes on the fourth Sunday of Advent, December 20. For residents this is a chance to start the season earlier than it begins at the other Christmas venues, and for the organizers it is a way to attract both families with children and companies that need a place for a corporate party – and, of course, to make money.
