Description:

Browse richly decorated stands selling handicrafts and regional delicacies in the Montreux Christmas Market. Follow the shores of Lake Geneva to reach the enchanting Chateau de Chillon. Saunter along corridors that once welcomed emperors and popes before descending to the vaulted dungeons.

For 3 weeks in December, Montreux is transformed into a winter wonderland fit for Santa and his elves. Shopkeepers and craftsmen set up chalet-style stalls and sell an array of souvenirs and gifts. You can explore this town decorated with festive lights and enjoy watching the numerous events and performances that take place in the run-up to Christmas.

You then drive along the lake to the splendid Chateau de Chillon—the postcard picture-perfect castle that has become a symbol of Switzerland. The castle's medieval jumble of towers and turrets is sure to capture the spirit of the festive season. Enjoy exploring the castle's rooms and corridors before heading back on the wintry drive back to Geneva.
