Winterheart-Interlaken – The Home of Winterfeeling

Visit the magic Christmas market in the heart of Interlaken. The "Winterheart-Interlaken" – The Home of Winterfeeling in the Kursaalgarden is open daily from 19 until 31 December 2025. You can look forward to lovingly decorated market stalls that will inevitably put you in the Christmas spirit. The container for the summer project "Summer Delights" shines in new splendour as a festively staged centrepiece. With mulled wine, winter specialities, music and lighting, it becomes a popular meeting place. Complemented by concerts, activities and seven decorated chalets with local exhibitors, it creates an atmospheric winter experience and an inviting atmosphere for guests and locals alike.

Christmas in the heart of Thun

Festlich beleuchtete Weihnachtsmarktstände laden in Thun vor der Kulisse des Schlosses zum Geniessen und Durchschlendern ein.

Enjoy the festive atmosphere, sip delicious mulled wine and do your Christmas shopping. Thun’s Christmas market has everything you could wish for – regional produce, fragrant spices, handicrafts and much more besides. After browsing the stands, why not admire the beautifully decorated Christmas tree on Rathausplatz or head to Mühleplatz for a game of Bavarian curling.

Christmas market experience Brienz

Beautiful Christmas huts and festively adorned windows magically transform the woodcarving village of Brienz into a real-life Christmas fairytale. Handicraft demonstrations, rides on the merry-go-round and musical entertainment promise a memorable experience of Christmas on the banks of Lake Brienz.

If that’s still not enough, we have more Christmas markets in store
