FESTIVE CALENDAR
Dear friends of the Widder Hotel The whole of Zurich is bathed in festive lights, the scent of mulled wine, cinnamon and Christmas biscuits is in the air, the distant ringing of bells is winding through the streets – just like every year, we can’t wait to celebrate the time-honoured ingredients of the holiday season, with its cherished rituals and cosy, family-filled days. With our festive calendar, we would like to invite you to rediscover the magic of Christmas – whether with heavenly Swiss raclette in our Igloo, the holiday-inspired Flavour menus in the Widder Bar & Kitchen, or at our distinguished New Year’s Eve party in our Widder Garage. There is a surprise hidden behind every door of our calendar to let you experience that magical festive atmosphere with all your senses. We look forward to sharing the most wonderful time of year with you.

IGLOO From the Arctic circle to the old town, across Rennweg and into the Widder winter wonderland. We have transformed our glass pavilion into a white winter oasis: soft powder snow covers the floor, torches cast flickering shadows onto walls of ice, and a kaleidoscope of every shade of glacier-blue immerses the scenery in enchanting light. And while the northern lights shine over the IGLOO, we’ll be offering plenty of ways to break the ice inside. After a glass of Ruinart champagne, you can enjoy an evening of raclette in the IGLOO: master chef Tino Staub and his team will be serving up the finest Swiss Raclette with a shot of sparkling Ruinart champagne to keep you warm.
