The Métabief Christmas Market: enchantment at the summit
Every year in December, the resort of Métabief, nestled at the foot of Mont Morond in the Haut-Doubs, dons its festive attire to host its Christmas Market. This friendly gathering transforms the heart of the resort into an authentic and warm Christmas village.
Local artisans and producers
The market brings together artisans, creators, and producers from the region who offer their specialties and creations:
- Local crafts: wooden objects, jewelry, candles, handmade Christmas decorations
- Comtois gastronomy: cheeses (Comté, Mont d'Or), Morteau sausages, Haut-Doubs honey, gingerbread
- Christmas treats: chocolates, sweets, mulled wine, and hot drinks
- Gift ideas: regional products, textiles, ceramics, and original creations
Activities for the whole family
The Métabief Christmas Market offers a program of festive activities:
- Torchlight descent with the Métabief Ski School (ESF)
- Mulled wine and hot chocolate offered to visitors
- Christmas carols and ambient music
- Visit from Santa Claus for the children's delight
- Illuminations and decorations of the resort
An enchanting mountain setting
The market's atmosphere is enhanced by Métabief's mountain setting: the snow-capped peaks of the Jura, decorated fir trees, and winter light create a unique Christmas atmosphere in Franche-Comté. The market is part of the Haut-Doubs Christmas events program, alongside other markets organized in Pontarlier, Les Fourgs, and surrounding villages.
A stop between skiing and discovery
For holidaymakers at the resort, the market is the perfect opportunity to combine a day of skiing or snowshoeing with a festive stroll through the illuminated streets of Métabief. The proximity of the ski area and cross-country ski trails adds to the charm of this winter getaway.
