The Advent season is getting a new home. From November 19 to December 23, 2026, the Alpenquai will be transformed into an atmospheric Christmas market. Amid cozy squares and hidden seating nooks, more than 60 lovingly designed Christmas huts will offer delicious food and beautiful gifts. The Fondue Chalet serves cheese fondue and fondue chinoise, and the Children’s Village features a carousel, hands-on activities, and St. Nicholas. The result is a new gathering place for Zug, created by the organizers of the Zurich Christmas Village.
