This Tram is running in spring for the very first time in 2026 (Märlitram Zurich) and is just for Kids.
If you are new to Zurich traditions, you might be wondering why a cheerful snowman is suddenly driving a tram. The Böögg is one of the most famous symbols of the Sechseläuten festival, one of Zurich’s oldest and most important traditions.
Every year during Sechseläuten, the Böögg is placed on a large bonfire and burned to symbolically say goodbye to winter. According to local legend, the faster the Böögg’s head explodes, the better the upcoming summer will be.
