The pre-Christmas period in Thun is a very special time full of festive cheer, bright lights and warm encounters. Once again this year, Thun city center invites you to its popular Sunday sales on 14 and 21 December 2025 - a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the festive atmosphere, get the last presents and discover culinary delights. From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., numerous stores and restaurants will open their doors and offer a wide range of products for all visitors. But the Sunday sales are much more than just shopping: they are a lively festival with lots of highlights to delight young and old alike.
The Samichläuse on a motorcycle - a very special highlight
An absolute highlight of the Sunday sale on December 14 is the spectacular "ChlouseRide" by the Edelweiss Riders. At 12.30 and 14.30, the Samichläuse set off on their motorcycles for a festive parade through Thun city center. With their red robes, traditional Santa Claus hats and the unmistakable roar of their motorcycles, they attract attention and spread Christmas cheer to young and old alike.
The route takes the Edelweiss Riders through the city's most important squares and streets: from Stadthofplatz via Bälliz, Guisanplatz, Aarestrasse, Maulbeerkreisel, Freienhofgasse, Lauitor, Obere Hauptgasse, Rathausplatz, Gerberngasse, Marktgasse, Kuhbrücke back to Bälliz and Stadthofplatz. Everywhere along the route, visitors can experience the Samichläuse up close, take photos and let themselves be carried away by the special atmosphere.
Festive atmosphere and varied program
Thun city center is transformed into a true winter wonderland on these two Advent Sundays. The festively decorated streets and squares invite you to stroll and linger. The smell of mulled wine, roasted almonds and freshly baked treats is everywhere. Numerous snack and mulled wine stands cater for your physical well-being, while a lovingly designed Christmas market with handmade products and gift ideas invites you to browse.
Entertainment is also provided: a nostalgic horse-drawn carriage game delights young visitors, who can look forward to a ride full of fun. The festive Christmas lighting bathes the town center in a warm glow and lends a magical atmosphere to the shopping spree. On the town hall square stands the magnificent Christmas fir tree, which enchants with its loving decorations.
