Tips & Advice

  • Check the specific opening hours for weekdays and weekends, as they change during the holiday season and after the Christmas break.
  • Consider visiting on weekdays before the Christmas break for a potentially less crowded experience at the winter attractions.
  • While chalet spots are full, inquire about the reservation list for potential openings if you're interested in hosting a chalet.
  • The retro train and carousel are popular attractions; plan your visit during off-peak hours if possible to minimize wait times.
  • Dress warmly, as many activities are outdoors, and the event runs through the colder winter months.
