★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 195 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $56

Review of Glacier 3000 from Les Diablerets, with cable car, Peak Walk, glacier paths, Ice Express chairlift, costs, tips, and weather advice.

“Visited with my wife and daughter on the 6th of July. We made the effort to get there for the first car going up at 9am, and I think that was a good idea. When we did the peak walk, we were the only ones on the bridge and got loads of time to take in the views in the most peaceful of surroundings. The weather was a bonus as is stayed clear the whole time we were up there. We also took in the toboggan run which was great fun and had lunch in the café/restaurant. The food was good but a bit pricey. However, not out of line…”

11.Round trip cruise from Montreux to Chillon

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 27 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $39

Review the Montreux to Chillon cruise on Lake Geneva, with route details, castle stop advice, ticket tips, value, and honest drawbacks.

“Buying the tickets in advance was not worth it. There is no clear directions on how to use the tickets and how to return when you leave the castle. The ticket booth attendant at the port told us they had nothing to do with those tickets and there was no one else there to provide information. Additionally, if you are staying in a Montreux hotel, they provide the Riviera Card that includes the round trip to Chillón for free, among other attractions. The boat also has a first class and second class sections. This was not specified at all in the tickets. Totally disappointing.”

Follow Freddie Mercury through Montreux on a relaxed 2.5-hour walk with exclusive media, Queen stories, lake views, and the famous statue.
