The Märlitram Rides Again in Zurich
But In 2020 it Goes Green as A Sign of Hope
Children’s Christmas Tram Zurich
Everything is a little different for 2020
The Märlitram is a special Christmas tram in Zurich only for children. Driven around town by Santa Claus and accompanied by two angels telling Christmas stories, it’s always a hit! However, for 2020 the red Märlitram will not be travelling round the streets of Zurich adding its usual dash of bright colour.
Instead for 2020, the Märlitram will only be available for groups of pre-booked Kindergarten and school children. And instead of red the Märlitram will be Green! The colour green is meant to symbolise hope for the future in these current difficult times. Santa Claus and his angels will also be practicing covid friendly safety measures.
Dates: For 2020 the Märlitram will not be open to the public
So this year we will still be able to see the festive tram cruising along Bahnhofstrasse and beyond, but members of the public won’t be able to buy tickets for their children as in previous years. The Jelmoli Märlitram usually runs daily from late November to 24th December. The rides begin and end at Bellevue tram stop and go at regular 25 minute intervals between 1.35pm and 6.50pm. The rides are only for children between the ages of 4 and 10 years old. Sadly adults are not allowed!

In usual times, children between the ages of 4 and 10 years old can enjoy these fun-filled 25 minute journeys around Zurich from Bellevue to Limmatquai and Central, along Bahnhofstrasse and back to Bellevue. Let’s hope the usual service will be resumed for 2021!
The Märlitram is operated by Jelmoli who have been running it for over 60 years.
