Itinerary
After driving along the Lake Geneva we arrive in the picturesque area of Les Diablerets (little devils) in the heart of the Alps Vaudoises at Col du Pillon.
If option selected, take the cable car to Glacier 3000 : Those who explore the Glacier 3000 glacier area will experience nature close up and will not forget the spectacular scenery for a long time. Ideal for such an experience is the Glacier Walk, a marked glacier trail. If you want some fun, ride the Alpine coaster to raise your adrenaline level and get your heart beating hard! Try a discovery tour of the glacier: Did you ever ride along in a snow cat? No? Then it is high time to do so! The Snow Bus from Glacier 3000 is the best opportunity to do this. It drives like a caterpillar over the crisp snow and has room for up to 20 people. And it is also the most pleasant way to discover the glacier area – from the comfort of your own seat. It is ride of a truly different nature – for young and old! Glacier 3000 offers a new panoramic restaurant, work of the architect Mario Botta, who designed the San Francisco Museum of Art.
Discover the new PEAK WALK BY TISSOT; there is only one suspension bridge in the world that connects two mountain peaks. It invites you to an adventure that you will not easily forget.The 107 meters long and 80 centimeters wide bridge offers a stunning view onto the Alps: Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau are visible from the bridge and offer grandiose views, far off into the distance.
Then discover the famous town of Montreux. Because of the exceptionally mild climate Montreux is called the capital of the Vaud Riviera. Plants associated with the Mediterranean, such as pines, cypresses and palm trees grow here. Charlie Chaplin, Lord Byon, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and several other famous people of world-renown lived and continue to live on this area. You can visit Queen studio record, take a picture of the famous freddie Mercury statue, and feel the atmosphere of the Jazz Festival.

Glacier 3000 and Montreux
We booked this trip the day before and could not have received better communication. Everything was confirmed straight away and the tickets sent over. Amen, our tour guide, confirmed the pick up time the morning of the trip and was exactly on time. He was incredibly friendly and helpful and gave us lots of information about the country and the destinations. The trip was unbelievable, beautiful clear views of the mountains and plenty of time as well. We never felt rushed. Thank you Amen for an amazing trip and memories from our holiday and for making it so special.
The worst experience I've ever had in my life.
The worst experience I've ever had in my life. I called and asked them to wait 10 minutes while I paid my fare, and they simply ignored me, even though my personal belongings were still on the bus. I waited for someone else at the first stop for 20 minutes. I was left with my son in the cold. I called many times, and they treated me very badly.
Kris was a wonderful tour...
Kris was a wonderful tour guide and driver. He answered all of our questions and helped make sure everyone on the tour was taken care of.
