CHRISTMAS MARKET IN MONTREUX

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.  Apart from the Weihnachtsmarkt, Santa’s workshop, a Christmas village, and a medieval festival await advent visitors. In 2022 the Montreux Christmas Market is open from November 18 to December 24, 2022.

The best Christmas market in French-speaking Switzerland, and one of the largest in the country, is the Marché de Noël à Montreux. Each December, around 170 market stalls sell Christmas fares at the traditional Christmas market (Weihnachtsmarkt) in town and on the lake-side quays, at the special market for a guest country, and at 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.
