The experience
Our driver handed out maps just as we pulled away from Geneva, and I caught a glimpse of the early sun flickering on Lake Geneva’s surface. We rolled past tidy fields and wooden chalets, the kind you see on postcards but somehow more lived-in up close. Somewhere near Vevey, a local pointed out a bakery famous for its buttery croissants: too bad we didn’t have time to stop.
Les Diablerets felt like a storybook village tucked right into the mountains. The air was crisp enough to make my cheeks tingle, and every roof seemed dusted with snow even in late spring. Our guide explained how the town’s name means “little devils,” which made me laugh as we boarded the cable car. The ride up to Glacier 3000 took about fifteen minutes, my ears popped halfway, and then suddenly there was nothing but white peaks all around.
I’ll never forget stepping onto that suspended bridge, the Peak Walk, where you can see over 200 mountain peaks if you’re brave enough to look down. The wind whipped at my jacket and I could hear kids laughing somewhere behind me, their boots crunching on packed snow. After some time at the fun park (the chairlift is worth it for the view alone), we headed back down and made our way to Montreux. There’s something about the lakeside promenade here: palm trees swaying next to old statues, street musicians playing Queen songs near Freddie Mercury’s statue, and locals sipping coffee outside even when it’s chilly.
