GstaadLife recommends: Montreux Christmas market

There are many Christmas markets in Switzerland but we still think that the Christmas market in Montreux is one of the best. Take the MOB down to Montreux, enjoy a wonderful ride through the winter wonderland to arrive at the probably-not-so-snowy Montreux --  which manages to make up for the lack of snow by offering up a town-wide heart-warming Christmas atmosphere, with lights, music, many many stands with wonderful gift ideas, and of course many Glühwein and food stops (even a few VIP champagne bars if crowds aren't your thing). If you have kids then a run up to Rochers-de-Naye (2,032m above Montreux) to see Santa is an absolute must. But be sure to ask ahead at the train station for the Santa train because at peak times you need to reserve seats. See for yourself and see you there:
