Tips & Advice
- Take the train, since traffic is heavy and the lower market entrance is only two to three minutes' walk from Einsiedeln station.
- Look for the ZVV direct connection from Zürich HB, which runs to Einsiedeln and back on selected days of the market.
- Don't plan on parking at the Hauptplatz, because there is a parking ban there during the market.
- On weekends, follow the signs and the traffic staff to the extra paid car parks in the industrial areas.
- Walk the full length of the Hauptstrasse up to the Klosterplatz to see the large Christmas tree in front of the abbey.
