A forest has taken root at the heart the castle. Come and join in the preparations for Christmas with the fortress inhabitants, take part in dances and workshops run by craftsmen of yesteryear and you wander through the centuries-old halls.

In partnership with Montreux Noël.

Online booking available but tickets are not limited, so you can also pick up your tickets on site.
