Romont revives a medieval tradition. Totally veiled women accompany, in silence, a Christ wearing his cross. The procession, which attracts a large crowd, leaves the College and returns to it.

Santa's House at Rochers-de-Naye is a must-see if you have young children. Located at an altitude of 2,042 meters, you can visit Santa's house and office by taking the Santa Train, a small cogwheel train. The climb itself is well worth the detour, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Once there, children will have the chance to meet the real Santa and leave with a small gift. Enchanting characters and decorations add to the magical atmosphere. In addition to the visit to the house, the town of Montreux offers many other activities and events to celebrate Christmas, such as the Christmas Market on the Place du Marché, the Quais en fête and the Cabane des Bûcherons, as well as events at the Château de Chillon.
