MONTREUX 🇨🇭 Largest Christmas Market in Switzerland Walking tour 4K Spirit of winter evening

The Marché de Noël à Montreux is by far the largest and best Christmas market to visit in the Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) region of Switzerland in 2024. Apart from the lake-shore market, Santa’s workshop, a Christmas village, and a medieval festival await Advent visitors. The Montreux Christmas Market is open from November 21 to December 24, 2024.

The best Christmas market in French-speaking Switzerland, and one of the largest in the country, is the Marché de Noël à Montreux. Each Christmas holiday season, around 170 market stalls sell Christmas fares at the traditional Christmas market (Weihnachtsmarkt) in the town center and on the lake-side quays, at the special market for a guest country, and in the covered market in Montreux. Further holiday cheer is added by a medieval festival at Chateau de Chillon Castle and Santa’s workshop at the top of Rocher-de-Naye, an Alpine peak with wonderful views of Lake Geneva and the mountains. The Village des Lutins in the gardens of the Casino shows the elves at work.

Every afternoon at 17:00, 18:00, and 19:00 Santa Claus flies over the Montreux Noël lakeside promenade in his sleigh. (Also at 16:00 on Saturdays.)

The big Ferris wheel near the covered market is a big hit with children but on a clear day, adults will enjoy the fantastic views too. The bird-eye views of Montreux are spectacular and depending on the weather may extend far over Lake Geneva and the nearby Swiss Alps. Chateau de Chillon can be seen for a few seconds while the big wheel is at its highest point. (Around CHF8 per ride.)

Explore the vibrant Christmas market, indulge in a variety of culinary delights, and revel in the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Experience the true essence of Christmas in Montreux, a place where traditions and celebrations come alive in the most captivating way.

Enjoy your vibrant walk in Montreux!
