An evening of wonder awaits you in the heart of Murten, where light, art and winter come together. The Murten Light Festival is ready to welcome you: enjoy the presale price of CHF 8.- by booking now.

Each winter, Murten's old town turns into a unique illuminated trail. Around twenty installations by Swiss and international artists bring life to alleyways, façades and the lakeside. All share the same element: light in all its forms.

Across twelve evenings, the Murten Light Festival invites visitors of all ages to enjoy an immersive experience. With 22 arteplages spread throughout the town, the programme blends poetry, technology and creativity. The winter atmosphere adds even more charm to the walk.

Organised by Murten Tourism and supported by more than 200 volunteers, the event has one clear aim: to create dreamlike moments and shape Murten into Switzerland’s capital of light.

Access is easy by train, by boat or via car parks connected by shuttle bus. Everything is in place for a carefree evening.

Take advantage of the presale price: CHF 8.- per adult until 20 January 2026. Book early to secure the best rate! From 21 January 2026: standard price CHF 12.- per adult.
