Christmas and family traditions: the magic of the holidays in Switzerland

Christmas decorations and traditions: a magical Christmas in Switzerland

As the holidays approach, Swiss cities and villages transform into veritable Christmas scenes, illuminated with a thousand lights. The Christmas markets in Zurich, Lucerne, Montreux and many others offer a warm atmosphere with local specialties such as mulled wine, Christmas cookies, and traditional Swiss dishes.

The lantern trails are also an essential winter tradition: take a family stroll along the illuminated paths, while enjoying fun activities for young and old.

There are many festive events: visit Santa Claus at Rochers de Naye near Montreux or take part in the lantern festival in Lucerne, for magical moments. Don't forget Saint Nicholas' Day, which is widely celebrated in German-speaking Switzerland, with parades and joyful entertainment.

Preparing the house for the holidays: a cozy atmosphere

For a warm and comforting atmosphere at home, decorate your interior with fairy lights and scented candles. Enjoy these cocooning moments with your family, while taking care of the skin of you and your little ones with gentle and natural products.

Winter wonders in Switzerland: snow, skiing and family adventures

Ski holidays and family activities in Swiss resorts

Winter in Switzerland is the perfect opportunity to enjoy winter sports with your family. Whether you are passionate about skiing, sledding or snowshoeing, Swiss resorts offer a multitude of activities suitable for all ages. Most resorts offer family facilities , ski schools for children and areas dedicated to small families. And for the youngest (and not so young), sledding on long slopes remains an essential activity.

If you prefer a more leisurely experience, opt for snowshoe walks or ice skating with the family. And after a day of adventure, what could be better than relaxing by the fire in a cozy chalet?

Enjoy the benefits of the winter sun and protect your skin

Outdoor moments in the snow and sunshine are wonderful, but it's essential to protect the skin of the whole family. The dry cold and winter sun can be harsh on children's skin. Important reminder. Apply our SPF50 Sunscreen to protect skin from UV rays and bad weather while keeping skin soft and hydrated.

Winter traditions: Carnival and joyful festivities

Winter in Switzerland also means carnival. The Basel Carnival, one of the most famous in Europe, is a must-see event for the whole family. Colorful parades, extravagant costumes, and traditional music create an explosion of joy and color. Be sure to check the local calendars, as each region of German-speaking Switzerland celebrates carnival in its own way.

Winter Culinary Traditions: Fondue, Raclette and Family Time

Winter in Switzerland is also a great time to enjoy traditional dishes that warm the heart. Fondue, a delicious blend of melted cheese, and raclette, with its melted cheese served on potatoes and pickles, are must-haves for winter meals. Many mountain chalets offer exceptional experiences (fondue in a tram, restaurant in a cable car), ideal for sharing a friendly moment with family, while admiring the snowy landscapes. These hearty meals add a touch of magic to your winter days and are a perfect way to create unforgettable memories with your family.

Skin, winter and well-being, choose the right protection
