Bellinzona Christmas Village

From November 26, 2026, to January 6, 2027, Piazza del Sole will be transformed into a new magical Christmas Village, a place for meeting, celebration, and conviviality for the whole family, at the foot of the evocative Bellinzona Fortress.

A large mountain chalet of approximately 500 m² will be the beating heart of the Christmas Village, a warm and welcoming place where gastronomy, music and conviviality come together. The Chalet Restaurant will also host the prestigious Star Gourmet culinary event, featuring four Michelin-starred chefs over four evenings dedicated to fine dining. Aperitifs, live concerts and DJ sets will help create a festive and engaging atmosphere.

The food and wine offering will be a true tribute to the flavours and excellence of the region. In the outdoor food area, eight restaurateurs from Bellinzona will serve their specialities, showcasing local and regional products, while the Fondue Chalet Blenio–Leventina will bring the authentic flavours and traditions of our valleys to the heart of the city.

A journey through flavours, traditions and conviviality, where the finest products of our region take centre stage and the pleasure of good food becomes a special opportunity to meet and spend time together.

All around, a 500 m² ice rink, a snow tubing slide, Santa's House, a traditional carousel and a rich programme of shows, workshops and entertainment will provide fun and unforgettable moments for visitors of all ages.
