Christmas at Fort de Chillon: a magical adventure from November 21 to December 24
The Fort de Chillon Museum is decked out in festive attire and joins in the magic of the Montreux Christmas Market. From 21 November to 24 December, the former military fort is transformed into an enchanted place where traditions, delicacies and surprises await young and old alike.
Two original events will punctuate this festive period. From 21 November, visitors are invited to search for Father Christmases hidden in the corners of the fort. This fun hunt promises plenty of mystery and laughter for the whole family. As an added bonus, each participant will leave with a sweet Christmas treat, courtesy of Maison Wernli.
In December, it's time for suspense with a life-size Advent calendar. Every day, the visitor whose ticket number corresponds to the date of the day will receive an exclusive gift. A wonderful way to celebrate the magic of anticipation while exploring the heritage of the Fort de Chillon.
