St. Nicholas Parade in Gersau

Every evening, the Trychler and Iffelen procession winds its way through the dark streets at a meditative pace. You can either stay at home and let the deep sound of the large bells and the dancing lights of the Iffelen wash over you, or stand by the roadside and experience the vibrations up close, without the crowds—just pure and simple.
The highlight is the St. Nicholas parade on December 5. Gersau Tourism will serve hot drinks before the parade begins. Tuesday, Dec. 1 – Friday, Dec. 4, 2026: Procession departs at 8:00 p.m. from Rathausplatz Saturday, December 5, 2026: 7:00 p.m. Refreshments served by Gersau Tourism 7:30 p.m. St. Nicholas procession departs
