Departs from Lausanne, heading to Glacier 3000 and Montreux

Starting from Lausanne, this one‑day itinerary combines extreme glacier adventures in the Alps with the romantic charm of the Geneva lakeside, with smooth transport connections throughout. You can challenge your courage at 3,000 metres above sea level, then stroll along the lakefront and soak up the Mediterranean‑style gentleness — a classic Swiss “ice and lake” dual experience tour.

Glacier 3000 is located near the village of Les Diablerets. It is a year‑round snow paradise where you can embrace the pristine glaciers and admire the majestic peaks that surround you in every season. The most iconic attraction here is the Peak Walk suspension bridge — the world’s first high‑altitude walkway connecting two mountain peaks. As you walk between clouds and snowy summits, with the vast ice field beneath your feet and the Alpine ranges stretching into the distance, every step is filled with wonder and awe. It is a must‑visit scenic landmark.

Adventure seekers absolutely cannot miss the Alpine Coaster — the highest‑altitude toboggan run in Europe. The winding track snakes through forests and glaciers, letting you race downhill at thrilling speed while taking in sweeping high‑mountain views along the way. It is exhilarating yet accessible, suitable for all ages. Beyond the core experiences, Glacier 3000 also offers glacier walking, snow experiences, and a variety of other activities, allowing non‑skiers to fully appreciate the unique allure of alpine ice and snow.

Leaving the magnificent glacier behind, Montreux is just a short drive away — instantly switching to the gentle ambience of the “Swiss Riviera”. Bordering Lake Geneva, Montreux boasts a distinctive Mediterranean character, with warm sunshine and soft lake breezes, while lakeside promenades and elegant architecture complement each other beautifully. This is a beloved resort destination for many celebrities. Visit their former residences and feel the blend of artistry and refinement; gaze out at the azure waters of Lake Geneva against the distant mountain silhouettes, where sky and water merge into a breathtaking panorama — a stunning contrast to the raw grandeur of the glacier.

The entire journey sets off seamlessly from Lausanne, with convenient access by car or public transport. In just one day, you can enjoy both the thrill of glacier exploration and the leisurely pace of lakeside living. From the suspension bridge walk at 3,000 metres to the adrenaline rush of Europe’s highest toboggan run, paired with Montreux’s lakeside culture and Mediterranean flair, this trip offers both adventure and romance — truly the most rewarding classic route in southwestern Switzerland.
