Tips & Advice
- Entry is free, so you can browse the market without paying admission and reserve your budget for any purchases.
- Check whether you are visiting on a weekday or weekend, because the market follows different schedules and later chalet hours are optional.
- Some volunteer chalets may stay open later than the regular schedule, but do not assume every chalet will extend its hours.
- Wear warm layers for browsing the town-center chalets, especially if you expect to spend a while moving between stalls.
