Christmas village in Caux:
For its 16th edition and for the second consecutive year, Montreux Noël will feature an additional exceptional site. The organisers have dreamed up a special treat for this year’s visitors, a Christmas village in the mountains, in the village of Caux above Montreux. There will be a live nativity scene, Santa Claus’s animals, games for children and play areas located on an esplanade at the end of which you can enjoy a glorious panorama of Lake Geneva and the Alps.
A special guest of honour:
Russia will be the guest of honour for 2010. The discovery of typical russian crafts, cuisine and culture awaits you in the numerous chalets on the Place du Marché. Various types of entertainment are planned for the enjoyment of visitors who love wide open spaces.
Santa Claus House:
A visit to Santa Claus, in his house perched at the top of the Rochers de Naye above Montreux, is an absolute must. For the seventh consecutive year, his house and his office will be visited by thousands of children and will doubtless be a meeting place for families between 25 November and 24 December 2010.
The Middle Ages at the Château de Chillon:
Within the walls of the Château de Chillon, the 4th Montreux Noël Medieval Market and Story Festival will take place on the weekends. The Medieval Market is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to go back in time and plunge into the history of the Middle Ages as illustrated by characters in period costumes. The Story Festival will transport visitors into the fascinating world of tales of the knights and Counts of Savoie.
