November 2025 in Switzerland
Hints at the anticipation of snow, winter sports, and the festive season that follows
Winter Magic Starts Here: Dive into the season as Switzerland transforms into a winter wonderland. November kicks off with ice skating rinks and enchanting Christmas markets popping up across the country, from bustling towns to cozy villages..
In Montreux, an extra touch of magic graces the Riviera. For an entire month, the lake shores come alive with over 170 vendors, artisans, and restaurateurs set up in beautifully illuminated chalets. It's a delight for all ages, especially when Santa Claus flies overhead in his sleigh.
Head to the vibrant Bellevue area In Zurich, where you can glide across the ice and warm up with a cup of glühwein. The festive atmosphere, and easy skate rentals make it a must-visit. Or hop on a train to Einsiedeln, where the Christmas market is so special, it feels like stepping onto a Hollywood holiday movie set.
While in Lucerne and its surroundings, enjoy Rudolf’s Christmas Spectacle or indulge in Afternoon Tea Above the Clouds, followed by an exhilarating ice skating experience at the iconic Bürgenstock Resort. With endless options across the country, the magic of winter is yours to explore.
