Tips & Advice

  • The market runs Thursday through Sunday, so schedule your visit within those days rather than arriving earlier in the week.
  • Choose Saturday or Sunday for the earlier opening; those days begin at 13:00, compared with 15:00 on Thursday and Friday.
  • On opening day, arrive in time for the ceremony, brass ensemble and Santa’s arrival, then stay for the après-ski party.
  • Bring warm layers for a December market visit, especially if you expect to stay into the evening for the party.
  • Treat the published program as provisional and confirm the listed highlights before travelling, since the organizer notes that changes may occur.
