Experience Bô Noël Lausanne - Terrasse des Amis, Bel-Air

Bô Noël Lausanne's Terrasse des Amis at Bel-Air offers a unique twist on traditional Christmas markets with its signature "Mondial de Fondue" experience. This contemporary market location features heated crystal tents where visitors can enjoy authentic Swiss fondue in giant caquelon-shaped seating areas, creating an unforgettable dining atmosphere in the heart of Lausanne's city center. The Belvédère terrace at Place Bel-Air transforms into a festive gathering spot where locals and travelers alike can savor traditional cheese dishes while staying warm and cozy. As part of the larger Bô Noël celebration that spans multiple locations across Lausanne, this market combines Swiss culinary traditions with modern design elements. Visitors can explore local artisan vendors, sample regional Vaud wines, and enjoy the festive ambiance enhanced by the nearby Lausanne Festival of Lights projections. The market offers a perfect blend of gastronomic delights and holiday shopping, with everything from handcrafted gifts to seasonal treats. Open daily from late November through New Year's Eve, the Terrasse des Amis provides both seated dining areas and casual food stalls serving Swiss specialties. For the ultimate experience, consider booking a fondue in a horse-drawn carriage that tours Lausanne while you dine, offering an intimate escape from the crowds while maintaining the festive atmosphere.
