My experience in the Swiss Alps was absolutely unforgettable. The breathtaking mountain scenery, peaceful surroundings, crystal-clear lakes, and charming villages made the trip truly special. Every moment, from enjoying the stunning views to exploring the beautiful alpine landscapes, felt like a memorable adventure. The Swiss Alps are a perfect destination for anyone looking for natural beauty, relaxation, and an unforgettable travel experience.

Breathtaking views from the very start. As soon as you get out of town have your camera ready! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. THe cable car rides were stunning. Once you reach the glacier observation area, there is an additional set of stairs and bridge to a higher point. Spectacular view for those brave and physically able. We ate fondue at the restaurant and it was very tasty. We stopped at Montreux on the way back. You could visit the Queen rock group museum or walk along Lake Geneva. Those that went to the museum liked it. The pick-up/drop-off site is easy to get to by subway train. We enjoyed the day and would recommend to you.
Great way to see the natural beauty of Switzerland. Lots to do at the top. Highly recommend hiking the ridge line.
The natural experience was wonderful. We lucked out on the weather - it was a bright, sunny day and the views were breathtaking. The human experience was less than satisfactory: Babis our tour guide was average at his job and his manner was rude and insensitive. As was the guy manning the ski lift - not sure if it’s the general Swiss comportment but those interactions left a bad taste.
It's a taste of Switzerland! The mountain could still be very cold during Spring time. In our case, it's -16 degree. Don't forget to bring warm clothes, hat, and gloves with you!
I don't normally do group tours but getting to Riviera Col du Pillon seemed too complicated to change trains onto a bus, etc. This tour was worth it and made the visit very convenient. On this tour, Christoph, picked us up in a bus and took us up the windy mountain roads to the Cable car experience up to the Peak Walk. There was nothing I had to think about which made it less stressful to plan and the ability to take a nap on the bus and just enjoy the Peak Walk. On this kind of a tour, the guide is not giving you a history of the are or any extensive speeches (which I was fine with). I know some other tour guides come with telling you all about he history and everything. I was really fine with the transportation and ushering. I would highly recommend! The Peak Walk was worth a visit!
Tom was an amazing host and driver, we had a wonderful time! Due to the current season, the peak had very few visitors, and we were fortunate to have beautiful clear weather, allow us to see many of the surrounding mountains in the distance.
Amazing experience! The accommodations on the bus were very comfortable. Every step was explained so you knew what options you had for experiences and when you had to be where. Our guide Thomas was excellent. Very knowledgeable, approachable, full of interesting and fun facts about the area. He made the day even more enjoyable. I also want to thank everyone involved in helping retrieve my husbands phone that he had left on the bus. Thank you so much for making it easy!!
Excellent view of the valley. Well organized trip. Well worth the cost and time. off season, so reasonable number on the trip.
Very friendly and helpful driver/guide. Very comfortable bus. Extraordinarily beautiful countryside and towns that we drove through. Most spectacular Cable car ride and view on mountain peaks. Would love to come back again, but unlikely since I live across the ocean.
It was a fun and relaxing trip. I had fun and amazing trip we did all the activities and thanks Rodzers our guide for those amazing stories...
The trip to Glacier 3000 was well worth it. There is plenty to do there. In fact, I could have used another 30 minutes because the line to ride the roller coaster was too long. I did the peak walk and walked onto the glacier, both of which were great. I also went up to the observation deck and had complimentary cheese and wine with David who was a super driver and tour guide.
A nice walk over the glacier, a bit wet feet but the views were spectacular and the weather very friendly for the height. Inwvwn loves the way up with lift and especially with the can through spring green forests.
Breathtaking! Lovely guide, beautiful views and all perfect with all the organization. Highly recommended!
Just do it! Pictures don’t do it justice! Our Swiss Tour guide Aristotle was terrific. Good snacks too !
Would highly recommend this trip, David, our guide was superb and extremely helpful throughout the day.
The tour was great! I would recommend to anyone that has balance and sterdy footing. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. The weather was perfect. We went the end of April.
Really top tour led by Nourmand. He was brilliant: guided us carefully but with wonderful dry humour that we loved. The tour delivered spectacular views at both mountain and lake levels and did everything it said on the packet. Plus a special bonus stop! Thanks Nourmand.
We couldn’t go.! The operator tours canceled our day due to strong wind. We are waiting for our refund.
Dress appropriately- very cold at top, remember scarf and hat to protect face but absolutely worth it, phenomenal views, wonderful memories ; excellent guide
A must see if you get the chance - no ski-ing needed, still get the wow factor. Young and old can enjoy this spectacular sight
I had a fantastic time on this excursion. Our tour guide was David, and he was amazing. He is super nice, thoughtful, and friendly. The weather was not great, but we still got to go up to the Glacier and see the suspension bridge, which was a wonderful experience. To be able to walk over a bridge in the clouds was amazing. David really felt for us that it was not a clear day, and he was able to offer us additional time in Montrex and also have a walk around the little village of Col du Pillon. He also provided wine, cheese and snacks when in Montrex, which we enjoyed by the lake. David gave plenty of suggestions for our time in Montrex and it was definitely worth the extra time. We went to the Queen statue and museum which was so special and completely free. In addition, on the way back from the tour, David stopped at the Charlie Chaplin house and a winery for use to take pictures. David went above and beyond to ensure we had a great day. I definitely recommend this tour, especially if David is your guide. We cannot control the weather but David will make sure you still have a wonderful time and have beautiful memories from the trip.
Glazier 3000 is worth the visit We visited in August breath taking views Cable car very efficient and running constantly We really enjoyed the experience The Glacier walk is worth doing
The suspension bridge walk, the lunch, and chair lift were all spectacular! The guide/bus driver was very nice and led us there safely!
Glacier 3000 was fantastic and was the highlight of our trip. It is a must do if you are in Switzerland. My daughter touched snow for the first time and it was incredible. We took the cable car and then we went down the peak bridge, then took the ski lift and came to the fun park where we played in the snow. Azdine was our tour guide and he was fantastic. He explained every bit to us and made the trip memorable and very comfortable. This is a top recommendation when in switzerland and is money well spent. Tip : We were comfortable throughout also because we hired the snow jacket and the snow boot which you get in the shop there. We also bought the snow gloves. It started snowing whilst we were there and the ones who did not have correct gear were desperate to go back to base.
Our guide Asdean was great! The Glacier 3000 experience was fantastic, even though due to weather we couldn't do all the activities.
This is a bucket list item! The catwalk bridge was the best part! There is a chair lift that takes you to an area where you can walk in the snow, and you might want to consider sun screen on a sunny day because my face got sun burnt haha! Great food options at the restaurant like Fondue or Raclette and the local beer was good too!
Amazing trip amazing place and amazing guide David. Must visit during stay at Switzerland. Life time experience
The tour guides were awesome! Fun and informative, patient and kind! The guides made me feel comfortable asking questions and made sure you got what you were looking to get out of the adventure. The picnic they brought was fabulous and they were happy to see your excitement in the adventure.
We took this tour last week. Amazing - everything was well done and the views were amazing. Well worth it.
The cable car experience, the alpine coaster, the time to explore in Glacier 3000. It was not so crowded so i had time to explore most.
We were very lucky with a weather! Nice and sunny (just after nasty wind and rain on the day before). That made our experience outstanding as everything on top was covered with fresh white snow. Made a stop in the vinery area on the way to Col du Pillon and Montreux on the way back. When you order please make sure that you are booked for the lift up as otherwise it would be surprise ad-hoc costs upon arrival to the place...
First, i have to thanks Tom for the guidelines and the helpful information. You have a great view of the mountains and the valley when you are in the peak. The glasier is huge, even in summer you can find enough snow to play. Montreux is a pretty place to stay for a while and enjoy a coffee in the evening.
We had a lovely time. Thomas our driver was so nice and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Unfortunately, the weather was not good and we had a white out at the top for most of the time. Still loved it.
The tour does not stop at the devil's which is a shame. He's going straight to the glacier. The view is spectacular. For those with health or mobility problems (back problems for example) there are assessors but at some point you have to climb stairs.
Perfect. Feel free to A place more than magic
Warm clothes should be provided because at the top it can be very cold and good sunglasses. Do not forget to bring an umbrella in case it rains in Montreux. The driver is very friendly and he drives very well. The landscapes are beautiful.
Very nice experience. Very good organization. Namely and not specified: the driver / guide speaks only English
Un lugar espectacular 👌 vale la pena visitar este hermoso 💚 lugar. Volvemos en cuanto sea invierno para ver otro tipo de espectáculo y siempre que pueda regresaré.
Der ganze Ausflug war einmalig und wunderschön. Wir hatten tolles Wetter und der Guide hat uns gute Tipps gegeben. Die Aussicht vom Glacier 3000 ist spektakulär. Wir wurden auch pünktlich am vereinbarten Ort abgeholt. Unser Guide war sehr freundlich, lustig und wir fühlten uns sehr wohl. Diese ganze Tour können wir nur empfehlen.
