Gommer Advent Market
Overview
Intro
The perfect start to the Advent season!
Looking for some pre-Christmas spirit? In Fiesch, visitors can find it even before the first Sunday of Advent.
The traditional Gommer Advent Market enchants visitors with its attractive program at the foot of the Great Aletsch Glacier.
In addition to over 80 market stalls, this unique market offers many attractions: “fairy tales” for children and regional delicacies for food lovers.
For example, Valais mulled wine from local winemakers and “Cholera”—a traditional Valais dish. The market festivities are complemented by a musical and cultural program.ProgramFriday, November 20
