Winter magic in the Domain: from 21/12 to 05/01
20 November 2023
Every day, every season Mother Nature treats us to a never-ending succession of enthralling sceneries...
So you can make the most of the magical winter season, the Domain will be open for visitors during the winter holidays, from 21 December to 5 January included (except on 25 December and 1 January)!
In the Cave
This winter, the Cave of Han welcomes you in the heart of its largest and most beautiful chambers. The Weapons’ Room, one of the Cave’s most majestic chambers, will be filled with Christmas magic thanks to the scintillating seasonal decorations that beautify the Cave... And the icing on the Christmas cake? Enjoy a festive drink, a tribute to the visits of yesteryear, when there was still a cafetaria in the Weapons’ Room!
The Origin sound and light show is undergoing maintenance this winter and will therefore not be played during visits to the Cave.
In the Wildlife Park
This winter, come and discover our Wildlife Park and its stunning forests and rolling valleys! The brown bears are wintering and spend their days between their winter dormancy and light activity, ocasionnally leaving their den to stretch their paws. The reindeer, arctic fox and wolves have donned their lush winter coats. The frost has deposited the first tiny, scintillating diamonds on the tree branches, all over the Park’s forest paths... A beautiful sight you can enjoy all through the winter holidays!
You can either visit the Park on foot, roaming the Walking trail at your own pace or aboard a Safari-bus accompanied by a tour guide.

Christmas market
This year, we will be celebrating Christmas and New Year with a brand new event at the Domain: a cosy Christmas Market will set up shop on the Pavillon’s terrace (near the Cave of Han’s exit), transforming this unique spot into a haven of light, with a warm and festive atmosphere! With this event, the Domain travels back in time to celebrate the origins of Christmas, by celebrating the winter solstice and the return of daylight just like our ancestors used to. Come and meet the Holly King and his elf Nisse, both straight from the realm of Celtic and Scandinavian legends!
Share a kiss under the mistletoe, enjoy a comforting mug of mulled wine while warming your hands near one of the braziers festooned around the market, find the rare gem among the many hand-crafted objects, enjoy tasting a wealth of local products… Experience a congenial outing in a cheering musical atmosphere, surrounded by myriads of fairy-tale lights! Our Christmas Market is ready to welcome you every day near the Cave of Han exit from 21/12 to 05/01 (except on 25/12 and 01/01), from 11h to 18h!
