Villeneuve Riviera Christmas opens its Elves\u2019 Village on the shore of Lake Geneva, in Villeneuve. The event runs from 28 November to 23 December 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Villeneuve is part of Riviera No\u00ebl alongside Montreux and Vevey. The Riviera No\u00ebl Foundation brings together the Christmas markets of these three towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foundation bases its work on three pillars, mobility, safety and sustainability. It relies on public transport, waste reduction and local products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who organises it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

March\u00e9 de No\u00ebl Montreux SA and the Riviera No\u00ebl Foundation organise the Elves\u2019 Village. Their head office is at Avenue Claude Nobs 5, in Montreux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to find<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Elves\u2019 Village combines lights, food chalets and family activities. The chalets serve cookies, mulled wine, grilled food, cr\u00eapes and churros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chalets des Grenouilles stand nearby, by the lake. They offer fondue, cheese cro\u00fbte and other dishes, by reservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switzerland Tourism also lists a candle-making workshop and a gift collection for children in need. Father Christmas visits the town on 23 December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A free little train links Villeneuve station to the village every 20 minutes. VMCV buses 201 and 204 are free at weekends from 1 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
