MIKA at the Christchindli Market in Willisau

Sunday, 8 December 2024

From the timetable change on 15 December 2024, the new MIKA trains of BLS will operate as RegioExpress trains between Bern and Lucerne as well as on most connections of the Lucerne S-Bahn. The new trains offer passengers more comfort and space and feature a bistro area for refreshments during the journey. On 8 December, you will have the opportunity to visit the new train at Willisau station and take a maiden voyage.

Afterward, we recommend strolling through the traditional Christchindli Market in Willisau's historic old town. Festively decorated market stalls entice visitors with the scent of mulled wine, roasted chestnuts, spices, and candles. Enjoy the festive music at various locations, in the Reformed Church, or in St. Peter and Paul Parish Church.
