Tips & Advice
- Go on a weekend if you want more time, because the chalets open earlier on Saturdays and Sundays than on weekdays.
- Don't plan a Christmas Day visit, because the market is closed on 25 December and reopens for the last weekend.
- Bring the kids to meet Santa Claus in person and to join one of the many creative workshops around the village.
- Fridays stay open later than other weeknights, so an evening visit for mulled wine among the lit chalets is easy to fit in.
- Dress warmly for walking the open Grand'Place among the chalets and artificial snow, especially after dark when the lights are on.
