Advent magic in Brig-Glis

The Brig-Glis ‘Advent magic’ event is going to be bringing the festive spirit in the lead-up to Christmas again this year.

From 29 November 2024 to 05 January 2025, you can get out on the ice rink and take your skates for a spin. Seven market stalls are also on hand with delicious Christmas drinks and treats for sale.

The ‘Chrischchindlimärt’ Christmas market will be open between 5 and 8 December in Brig old town.

Ice rink at the Stadtplatz square

From 29 November, ice-skating enthusiasts will also be able to do their afternoon laps on the ice rink, which is operated with synthetic ice and features festive Christmas decorations. Thanks to the synthetic plates, no energy is required for ice production.

From 29 November 2024 to 05 January 2025, warm treats and drinks can be enjoyed daily at the "Stadtplatz" square, with the seven market stalls open every evening until 8 pm.
