What to Do in Zurich in Winter

Christmas in Zurich is a magical spectacle: countless picturesque Christmas markets, cozy fondue chalets, and traditional events such as candle dipping at Bürkliplatz, the “Märlitram” fairy tale tram, or Conelli Christmas Circus enthrall visitors of all ages.

Now’s the time to head for the ski slopes, ice skating rink, or toboggan run! Winter reaches its high point in January and many beautiful winter sports resorts close to Zurich lure guests with exciting activities. Those who want to take things at a more leisurely pace can go on a winter hike or snowshoe trek.

In February, it is generally still relatively cold. So the best thing to do is warm up with a delicious fondue, a mug of hot drinking chocolate, or a spa beauty treatment.
