The Fort de Chillon Museum and the Etoile Filante Foundation are transforming Black Friday into Solidarity Friday
For the second year running, the Fort de Chillon Museum is joining forces with the Etoile Filante Foundation for Black Friday. Together, they are offering a generous alternative to a traditionally commercial event, placing solidarity at the heart of the occasion.
A solidarity offer to bring stars into children's lives
For more than 30 years, the Etoile Filante Foundation has been making the dreams of children and teenagers living with illness or disability come true in Switzerland, offering them unforgettable moments and exceptional experiences that would often be out of reach due to their circumstances. Supporting their actions means helping to bring joy and hope to these young people and their families.
A great deal for visitors, a powerful gesture for children
During the Black Friday weekend, from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 November 2025, the Fort de Chillon Museum will offer a solidarity ticket on its website at a single price of 15 Swiss francs, which is 10 francs less than the usual adult ticket price. This ticket, valid for one year, is a real opportunity for visitors to discover a place steeped in history, combining military heritage, interactivity and immersive technologies (strategy games, innovative scenography).
For each ticket sold, 3 Swiss francs will be donated to the Etoile Filante Foundation, enabling it to carry out new projects and create precious memories for the children it supports.
A Solidarity Friday: turning a purchase into a commitment
This exclusive offer is available for three days, only on the Fort de Chillon Museum website. It invites each visitor to turn their ticket into a double action: enjoying a generous discount while supporting an essential cause.
‘By transforming Black Friday into Solidarity Friday, we are offering everyone the opportunity to make their visit an enriching experience and bring happiness where it is most needed.’
Nicolas Burnet Marketing Manager, Fort de Chillon Museum
