Swiss Winter Village comes to Portanuova

An snow avalanche of adventures is coming to Portanuova with the second edition of Swiss Winter Village. Enjoy an unforgettable day in the snow in the heart of the neighborhood, from Nov. 7 to 17 at Piazza Gae Aulenti. 

The 850-square-meter village will feature a synthetic ski trail, cozy chalets and special themed spaces, each dedicated to a Swiss location, reminiscent of the new Eurocity train. So, are you ready for a breathtaking virtual tour?

If you’ve never taken to the ski slope or only have a desire to refresh your memory, Swiss Ski School instructors are ready to welcome you to the artificial slope open to all at the center of the square. Reserve your free spot on the Portanuova Milano app. Lessons and ski equipment are free. 

Be careful, for the youngest there is also the possibility of meeting Santa Claus who, only at certain times, visits Milan to meet the little ones, receive their letters, take a souvenir photo and leave them a small surprise. Book your free meeting on the Portanuova Milano app.

With Eurocity’s train cars, the surprises continue; you can explore snow-covered cities and landscapes on a dream tour through the Swiss Alps aboard scenic trains. In fact, each wagon is dedicated to a different region of Switzerland. You’ll get an overlook of nature with interactive maps, movies and virtual puzzles designed for even the youngest children. The first wagon, in collaboration with Travel Switzerland and the Rhaetian Railway, features the scenic routes of the Grand Train Tour. Also, Lucerna and its Christmas markets, between tradition and innovation, and the “Festival of Lights,” which lights up the facades of the old town in January. Bern highlights Interlaken, a destination for sports and wellness, and family activities with the city’s markets. Don’t miss the chance to discover charming Alpine villages, such as Villars and Leysin, and the charming lakeside towns of Montreux and Lausanne.

But wait, to best recover your energy after an afternoon of the most beloved winter sport and exciting virtual outings, delight your taste buds in the cheese and chocolate chalets, with typical raclette and delicious Lindors.
