Krampusnacht, a night shrouded in mystery and fear, has been celebrated across various European cultures for centuries. However, in recent years, Norway has seen a resurgence of interest in this ancient tradition. With its roots in Alpine folklore, Krampusnacht offers a stark contrast to the light-hearted festivities of Christmas. Instead, it delves into the darker aspects of winter, bringing to life the terrifying figure of Krampus—a creature that punishes the naughty and mischievous. In Norway, this celebration has taken on unique characteristics, blending traditional elements with local customs, creating an unforgettable experience.
