Glacier 3000 Tour from Geneva: Peak Walk Bridge Experience

The Peak Walk is the only suspension bridge in the world connecting two mountain summits.

A private tour from Geneva climbs by cable car to Glacier 3000 at 3,000 meters, crosses the Peak Walk suspension bridge linking two Alpine peaks, descends to a panoramic restaurant designed by Mario Botta, and ends in Montreux on the Vaud Riviera. The route follows Lake Geneva's shoreline through Swiss countryside before ascending to the glacier, then returns via the lakeside town where Mediterranean plants grow and Chaplin and Mercury once lived.

The experience

The drive from Geneva traces Lake Geneva's edge through wooden chalets and Alpine meadows before reaching the Col du Pillon, where the cable car ascends to Glacier 3000. At 3,000 meters (10,000 feet), you step onto the Peak Walk: a suspended pedestrian bridge that spans between two mountain peaks, one of only a handful of its kind on earth. The crossing is the centerpiece of the morning. After it, a chair lift drops you into the fun park where sledges run downhill across the snow.

Lunch sits at a panoramic restaurant designed by architect Mario Botta, the same hand behind San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art. The building frames views across the glacier and the valleys below. After eating, the descent begins: cable car back down, then the drive southwest to Montreux, where you have free time to walk the Riviera's palm-lined streets. The town's mild microclimate, unusual for Switzerland, lets Mediterranean plants thrive alongside Alpine ones, and the lakeside promenade carries the history of residents like Chaplin and Mercury who chose to live there.

You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with a private driver throughout. A live guide in English, Spanish or Greek is available as an option. If you choose the driver-guide package, one person handles both. The full day runs seven to ten hours depending on how long you linger in Montreux and at the glacier.

Yes. After lunch at the glacier, you descend by cable car and drive to Montreux, where you have free time to walk the Riviera and see the lakeside town before returning to Geneva.

Can I bring young children on this tour?

Children under 15 months are not permitted at Glacier 3000 due to altitude and facility restrictions. Infants and small children over that age can ride in a pram or stroller, and specialized infant seats are available in the vehicle.
