Various Swiss towns, including Einsiedeln, Lucerne, and Bern, are hosting winter light festivals to attract visitors during the slow season. The new ‘Illumination Kloster Einsiedeln’ aims to lure guests to local restaurants and accommodations while raising awareness about climate change. Past festivals, like Bern’s ‘Rendez-vous Bundesplatz,’ have successfully boosted local economies, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors. Lucerne’s ‘Lilu’ festival also features multiple illuminated sites, enhancing the city’s vibrancy. The success of these events suggests a promising future for Einsiedeln’s inaugural festival starting January 10.
