Vevey and the Montreux Christmas Market

			Christmas Market in Montreux. These markets are very popular this time of year and you will find them all over Switzerland. There are little kiosks that people rent and sell their homemade things as well as food to eat. And WINE to drink.We had a plate of German style potatoes that totally filled me up. Wash it down with some Gluhwein and you’re a happy camper!		There are other photos in this group from Vevey as well. I went to Vevey in the afternoon and then the three of us  took the train to Montreux for the Christmas Market. By then it was getting dark and we were getting hungry not to mention thirsty.
Some kiosks were inside with a roof but still fun Montreux

Inside decorations – Montreux

Seems that ferris wheels are regular things at Chrismas Markets. Montreux

Gluhwein – or GLOGG (Gloggi in Finnish) Christmas must have. Heat up some good red wine with cinnamon sticks, cloves, cardamom, and all spice. Throw in a little slice or two of orange, a little brown sugar, heat but don’t boil. Oh my. Montreux

Pouring us some nice warm Gluhwein! yum – Montreux
