Full Description

Start your day with a train ride from Montreux to Les Diablerets, followed by a short postcar journey to Col du Pillon, the base station for Glacier 3000. From there you’ll take a thrilling cable car ride up to a world of perpetual ice and snow, where adventure awaits.


Once at the top, experience the Peak Walk by Tissot, the world’s only suspension bridge connecting two mountain peaks, offering jaw-dropping views of over 24 alpine peaks, including the emblematic Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.


You will hop on the Ice Express chairlift for a closer look at the glacier’s snow-covered landscapes, and stop off for lunch at the Restaurant «Le Carnotzet» to enjoy a traditional Swiss cheese fondue completed by a glass of local white wine or a tea.


For those seeking an additional thrill, an optional ride on the Alpine Coaster, Europe’s highest tracked toboggan run, provides an exhilarating descent (available in summer and dependent on conditions).


Your way back takes you via Gstaad, the jet-set village known for its glamorous visitors and high-end boutiques, before returning to Montreux aboard the elegant GoldenPass Express with panoramic views of the Swiss Riviera to end your day in style.
