While many people toast the New Year with champagne at midnight, Austrian TV personality and former lottery presenter Martina Kaiser has chosen a different tradition: eating twelve grapes.

‎In an Instagram story shared on New Year’s Eve, Kaiser revealed that she is once again following a popular Spanish New Year custom. The ritual involves eating one grape with each stroke of the clock at midnight, a practice believed to bring good luck for every month of the coming year. Some versions of the tradition even recommend sitting under a table while doing so.

‎Preparing for the ritual, however, was not entirely straightforward. Kaiser joked that finding suitable grapes had been “a real struggle”, saying she visited three different shops before finally succeeding. The grapes, she added with humour, were imported from Brazil.

‎“Of course they’re totally toxic and full of chemicals,” she quipped, before explaining that the fruit would be given a thorough wash — what she jokingly called a “detox bath” — before consumption.

‎Known for her light-hearted and candid style, Kaiser once again shared her New Year’s preparations live with her followers, who responded with amusement.

‎Whether the grape ritual truly brings good fortune remains to be seen. But Kaiser said she performed the same tradition last year and survived another year as a “life artist”, laughing at the idea. With a background linked to luck through her former role as a lottery presenter, she once again managed to entertain her fans just hours before the year drew to a close.

An avalanche struck close to a ski run in Kitzbühel on New Year’s Eve, partially burying at least two winter sports enthusiasts, despite a low avalanche risk warning in the area.

‎According to reports, the slide occurred around midday on Wednesday in wooded terrain below the Hausbergkante section of the famous Streif course, just weeks before the resort hosts its renowned World Cup downhill race.

‎Tyrol’s emergency control centre confirmed to the Tiroler Tageszeitung that two people were caught in the avalanche. Both were partially buried, though their heads remained above the snow, an operations supervisor said.

‎A witness alerted emergency services, prompting a rapid response from mountain rescue teams and two helicopters. The two victims were recovered and taken to hospital, suffering minor to moderate injuries, officials said.

‎Authorities noted that the incident occurred despite the officially low avalanche danger level in the region.

Austria is set for a sharp rise in living costs in 2026, with households facing higher prices across transport, energy, motoring and everyday services, as inflation remains elevated and government austerity measures continue to take effect.

From public transport tickets to vehicle taxes and to***co, few areas will be spared. Inflation stood at around 4% in November, and authorities expect little relief in the coming months, meaning prices for food and energy are likely to keep rising.

Public transport will become significantly more expensive. The popular Climate Ticket, which allows nationwide travel, will increase from €1,300 to €1,400 per year. In eastern Austria, the Vienna–Lower Austria–Burgenland ticket will rise to about €1,000, while senior fares will also increase. Family surcharges and discounted youth and senior tickets will also cost more.

Vienna’s public transport operator has announced particularly steep increases. From January, a single ticket will cost €3.20, up from €2.40, while a weekly pass will rise to €28.90. The annual Vienna travel card will increase to €461, compared with €365 previously.

Drivers will also feel the pressure. The annual motorway vignette for cars has been raised to €106.80, while motorcycle vignettes will cost €42.70. Parking fees in Vienna are set to rise by around 30%, alongside higher penalties for parking violations.

New car buyers face additional costs as Austria increases its vehicle registration tax (NoVA) in line with CO₂ emissions. The change affects many petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles, although fully electric cars remain exempt. Motor-related insurance taxes will also increase, adding an average of around €35 per year for new petrol and diesel vehicles.

Other charges are rising too. Vienna will sharply increase its annual dog tax, with the fee for the first dog jumping to €120, and €160 for each additional animal. Pensioners will, for the first time, be required to pay the annual €25 health insurance card fee.

A 57-year-old man was airlifted to hospital with severe hypothermia after suffering a forestry accident in the Austrian province of Styria and spending several hours injured in a stream, authorities said on Tuesday.

The incident occurred on Monday in Puch bei Weiz, where the man had been working alone in his forest. According to police, he slipped while cutting down a beech tree on a steep, frozen slope and fell вместе with the tree into a stream around 15 metres below.

After the fall, the man attempted to make his way along the stream towards his car, where his mobile phone was located. However, he was unable to continue and collapsed roughly 100 metres from the accident site.

The man, who had told his wife he planned to attend an event later that day, failed to return home. When he did not come back overnight, his wife alerted emergency services early on Tuesday morning.

Firefighters discovered him shortly before 8 a.m., lying in the stream bed between two steep embankments. He was unresponsive and suffering from severe hypothermia.

After receiving emergency treatment at the scene, he was flown by rescue helicopter to Graz University Hospital with injuries of unknown severity. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the accident.

A loud firework explosion sparked a large police search operation in Upper Austria after a frightened dog fled its home and ran for hours along busy roads.

The incident occurred on Saturday evening in the town of Enns, in the Linz-Land district, when unknown individuals set off a powerful firecracker at around 5 p.m. The blast terrified a Saluki dog so badly that it jumped over a fence and ran away from its home.

The dog was later seen crossing the Mauthausen Danube bridge into the neighbouring Perg district before continuing along the B3 road in the direction of Linz. Police were alerted and launched an extensive search, warning drivers to slow to walking speed to avoid a potentially fatal collision.

Officers described several dangerous situations as the animal ran through traffic. After nearly four hours and an estimated 12 kilometres of wandering, police were finally able to secure the dog and take it to a local station. The animal was unharmed but visibly distressed.

Staff from an animal rescue service later scanned the dog’s microchip and identified its owner, who collected the Saluki shortly afterwards.
The incident has renewed warnings from animal welfare groups and farmers about the dangers of fireworks to pets, livestock and the environment.

Exploded firework debris left in fields and meadows can seriously injure animals if ingested, the Upper Austrian Farmers’ Association said, urging greater responsibility during celebrations.

Austria is set to see a return of wintry conditions before the end of the year, with a new cold front expected to bring snow to parts of the country in the coming days, forecasters say.

The weekend will remain largely calm under the influence of high-pressure system Hella, centred over north-western Europe. A weak cold front passing through eastern Austria overnight on Saturday will have little impact beyond strong north-westerly winds.

More significant changes are expected from Tuesday, when a cold front moves south from the north, bringing precipitation that is forecast to fall mainly as snow.

On Sunday, sunshine will dominate much of the country. Temporary cloud cover may pass through the Waldviertel region to the eastern Alpine foothills in the morning, but conditions are expected to improve later in the day. Fog in basins and valleys should largely clear, although persistent low cloud may linger in the Rhine Valley and parts of the Klagenfurt Basin. Brisk north-westerly winds are forecast from the Waldviertel to Burgenland, while föhn conditions are likely in the south. Daytime temperatures will range from minus 1 to plus 7 degrees Celsius.

Monday will start sunny in the mountains, with fog or low cloud in some low-lying areas. While most of this should clear during the day, grey conditions may again persist in the Rhine Valley and the Klagenfurt Basin. Cloud will increase in the north by evening, though it is expected to remain dry. Temperatures will rise to between 0 and 9 degrees.

With the year drawing to a close, now is the ideal moment to take stock of your finances. Making a few smart decisions before the New Year can save significant amounts of money — sometimes in just minutes.

As the cost of living continues to rise, more people are looking for practical ways to reduce expenses without sacrificing their quality of life. In Austria, where everyday costs can be high, small but well-targeted changes can make a meaningful difference. Here are some of the most effective strategies to cut spending and strengthen your finances — many of them quick to implement before the year ends.

A review of monthly expenses often reveals a growing list of subscriptions: streaming services, music platforms, gym memberships and other digital services. Many continue to charge fees long after they stop being used.

Regularly reviewing and cancelling unnecessary subscriptions is one of the easiest ways to save money. The same applies to mobile phone contracts, where cheaper plans often offer identical services. Clearing out unused subscriptions can deliver immediate savings.

Careful meal planning is one of the most effective tools for reducing household costs. Instead of making frequent, unplanned supermarket trips — which often lead to higher spending — creating a weekly shopping list helps control expenses and reduces impulse purchases. It also cuts down on food waste, benefiting both the environment and household budgets.

Electricity bills are another major cost for many households, but savings can often be achieved with simple changes. Unplugging unused devices to avoid standby power consumption, switching to LED lighting and turning off electronics overnight can significantly reduce energy bills over time.

Austria’s Julia Scheib delighted home fans by winning the women’s giant slalom at Semmering, securing the country’s first victory at the venue since 2012.

The 27-year-old Styrian skier had been second after the opening run, just four hundredths of a second behind Sweden’s Sara Hector. In a fearless second run, Scheib overturned the deficit with an aggressive, uncompromising performance to seal her third World Cup win—and her first on home snow.

The triumph also earned Scheib the red leader’s bib in the giant slalom World Cup standings. It marked Austria’s first success at Semmering since Anna Veith’s win more than a decade ago.

Switzerland’s Camille Rast climbed three places in the final run to finish second, 0.14 seconds behind Scheib, while Hector dropped to third, 0.40 seconds off the lead.

“I really didn’t think it would be enough,” Scheib said after the race. “I was skiing right on the limit and just told myself to let the skis run. I was overjoyed at the finish.” She added that her consistency this season is giving her confidence: “I have a solid base now, and I really enjoy skiing.”
Scheib’s victory came after New Zealand’s Alice Robinson, who had led the discipline standings, failed to finish the first run. As a result, Scheib now holds an 88-point lead in the giant slalom rankings.

Among the other Austrians, Nina Astner produced a strong second run to jump from 30th to 12th place, becoming the second-best Austrian on the day. Katharina Liensberger finished 14th, while Ricarda Haaser and Franziska Gritsch also collected World Cup points.

The Semmering weekend continues on Sunday with a floodlit slalom.
