Wonderful Excursion - Highly Recommended

Glacier 3000 truly delivers a fun, unforgettable alpine experience and is so easy to reach for anyone, especially those staying in nearby places such as Gstaad or Montreux. A huge thank you to our incredible private guide, Aristotle who made the day seamless, informative and extra special.

Excellent day @ glacier 3000

We had a great day going up glacier 3000. Cable car, chair lift, glacier walk, toboggan run and walking across bridge was excellent. Our guide Normunds was brilliant. Would highly recommend.

Very good but expensive

This was a really good half day out, from Montreux it was not a full day. The guide was brilliant and had wine and snacks waiting for us when we came down the mountain. The 3 stars are for the cost, £360 for 2 people for half a day is a lot of money, like most things in Switzerland expensive is the norm. Still a good experience

Glacier 3000

Our time up top of Glacier 3000 was too short for the money paid. We only had two hours up top which is very rushed to go on the chairlift to walk on the Glacier, do the toboggan run, do the peak to peak walk and go to the view point. Paid $561 Cdn for the tour.

Good

Free time to gang around the glacier was worth it. Glad we got a bus instead of the train up. The tide was comfortable. Our guide was good.
