Next, board the cable car to reach Glacier 3000, where a unique experience awaits you at an altitude of 3,000 meters. From this height, the world opens up before you with breathtaking panoramas of iconic peaks such as the Matterhorn, the Eiger, and even Mont Blanc. Cross the spectacular Peak Walk suspension bridge, the only one in the world connecting two mountain peaks. This crossing offers you a 360° view of the Swiss Alps, a true invitation to contemplation.
During your free time, take the opportunity to enjoy a traditional Swiss picnic, featuring local cheeses and wine, while admiring the glaciers stretching out as far as the eye can see. For a dose of adventure, sled down the slopes at the Fun Park, walk through snowy landscapes, or take a thrilling ride on the alpine coaster, Europe’s highest roller coaster. This unique blend of nature, relaxation, and adrenaline will captivate both young and old alike.
After this high-altitude adventure, the descent brings you back to the shores of Lake Geneva, where you will discover Montreux, a city renowned for its Mediterranean microclimate.
