Few markets can match Montreux for scenery: wooden chalets line the Lake Geneva promenade with the Alps rising beyond.
By day, browse artisanal gifts and regional treats with snow‑dusted peaks in the distance; after sunset, the lights reflect on the water and Santa appears to ‘fly’ above the lakeside on select evenings. The compact town is easy to reach by rail, and the market’s zones offer everything from street food to crafts and seasonal entertainment. It’s an excellent option for families and photographers seeking a market with a strong sense of place and festive flair.
