The experience

The day starts with a bus pickup in Montreux, the lakeside city known for its jazz heritage and mild climate. The route climbs into the Vaud Alps toward Les Diablerets, a village of wooden chalets built into the mountainside. From there, the cable car takes 20 minutes to reach Glacier 3000, a snow-covered plateau where you can walk year-round on white peaks. The suspended bridge is the centerpiece. It connects two summits and is one of only a handful of its kind in the world. Standing on it, you're looking out at a panorama of more than 200 peaks above 2,000 metres.

Once at Glacier 3000, time is yours to move at your own pace. The fun park and chairlift are available if you want them (these are optional add-ons at checkout). The snow is real and permanent, not seasonal, so the landscape doesn't change with the time of year you visit. After the mountain, the bus brings you back down to Montreux, where you have free time to walk the waterfront or explore the town before heading back.
