Events in Bern Region - New Year's eve 2025/26

New Year's Eve in Grindelwald promises an unforgettable celebration with music, tradition and a spectacular drone show.

Just as the carnival masquerade was once intended to drive away the winter spirits, the "Achetringele" on New Year's Eve in Laupen is all about scaring away ghosts and demons.

Interlaken really lets it rip at the turn of the year. The legendary open-air Touch the Mountains on January 1 is followed by an impressive fireworks display on the Höhematte.

Every year on the first day of the year, a free open-air concert with top Swiss bands takes place on the Höheweg along the Höhematte, ending with a spectacular fireworks display.

Every year on January 2, the Harder-Potschete takes place on the market square in Interlaken. Scary figures with rough, carved wooden masks parade through the village.
