Photos of the Montreux Christmas Market

September 16, 2020 by Henk Bekker in Christmas, Events, Family Travel, Montreux-Vevey, Photo Galleries

The photogenic Marché de Noël à Montreux is the largest and best Christmas market to visit in the Lake Geneva region of Switzerland. This beautifully located Weihnachtsmarkt is popular with families and children.

The Marché de Noël à Montreux is the best Christmas market to visit in the Lac Léman region of Western Switzerland. This Weihnachtsmarkt is a popular day-trip destination from Genève, Lausanne, ski resorts in the Valais and France, as well as German-speaking parts of Switzerland including Bern.

Photogenic Montreux Christmas Market

Visiting the Montreux Christmas market is a great opportunity for taking colorful photos. All kinds of weather are possible from snowing, which helps the atmosphere, to sunshine and too much warmth to match the season.

The main market stalls and chalets of the Marché de Noël à Montreux are beautifully located on the quays of Lake Geneva. Further stalls are in Grand Rue and in the covered market. Santa’s workshop at Rochers-de-Naye Alpine peak above Montreux is a beautiful cog-wheel train trip for children and adults. A Christmas village is set up in Caux, a small town above Montreux that is also best reached by train.

Riding the giant Ferris wheel is popular for views of the market stalls, Montreux, the lake, and the Alps. Boat cruises are also possible on Lake Geneva during the Christmas market period. The statue of Freddie Mercury is always popular with fans posing for selfies.

Chateau de Chillon, which is a very popular photo motive too, is around a 45 minutes walk along the lakefront from Montreux, or a few minutes on the bus or train. It has a special medieval Christmas market on weekends during December.
