Hi, Reader! It was Fall 2024. I was 7 months pregnant, waddling across Basel with my friend. Every few minutes we wandered into another square dotted with food stalls, craft booths, and amusement rides. Nope, it wasn't a Christmas Market โ it was a Fall Festival! Fall Events in SwitzerlandIf you find yourself here in the next few months, see if you can catch one of these Autumn activities: Fall Festivals | Imagine a Christmas market but with Autumn vibes! The Lozรคrner Mรครคs (Lucerne) and Baseler Herbstmesse (Basel) are popular Fall festivals with the Swiss, including market stalls and food booths and small rides. โThun Water Magic | See a spectacular water and light show every evening in Thun through the month of October. We hope to take Little Aplin here this year! โLucerne Cheese Festival | This is the largest cheese market in Central Switzerland, so be sure to stop by if you want some authentic Swiss cheese! โBern Zibelemรคrit (Onion Market) | Onion everything! From the popular braids to tarts to soups and beyond, this popular market happens every November. And it's on our calendar because I (Jana) really like onions. โTruffle Market | Yum, truffles โ in Switzerland! Buy, taste, and learn about this delicacy, including a chance to watch the truffle hunting dogs in action. โChristmas Markets | Some of these start as early as late-November. ๐ Watch this video for our recommended Swiss Christmas Market itinerary! Wild Dinners | It's hunting season! Find a local restaurant to dine on regional meat specialities, like boar, chamois, re, and rabbit. Here's our drool-worthy meal last Autumn from Cafe 3692. (I can still remember the divine smell of homemade broth ๐คค) Where to see the Fall leaves ๐If you're like us, then you take a walk every day in the Fall just to enjoy the red, orange, and yellow leaves. ๐ (๐ And to watch your kids crunch, jump, and play in them too!)
