Einsiedeln Christmas Market

Set against the spectacular backdrop of the imposing Benedictine abbey and sprawling along the length of the main street, the Christmas market in Einsiedeln is particularly well worth a visit.

The beautifully decorated market stands, festive Christmas illuminations, and enormous Christmas tree make visitors’ eyes shine in wonder. The items on sale are rounded off by the selection on offer at the numerous stores in the village. 

Besides the Christmas market, the Einsiedeln Abbey Tour invites visitors to discover the church and library.

St. Nikolaus-Aussenden

On the evening of November 29 at 5.30 pm, St. Nicholas is sent out of the abbey church to distribute small sacks filled with goodies to the youngest visitors outside. This annual tradition spreads Christmas cheer and is accompanied by the merry hustle and bustle of the Christmas market.
