Glacier 3000 & Les Diablerets
Description
Experience the stunning alpine scenery of one of Switzerland's premier ski destinations while taking in breathtaking panoramas from nearly 3,000 meters above sea level on this excursion to Glacier 3000 & Les Diablerets starting from Montreux.
Glacier 3000 & Les Diablerets starting from Montreux
Our adventure kicks off at 9:45 am from the Place de l'Eurovision, located adjacent to the Montreux Tourist Office, as we head eastward.
After a scenic 45-minute journey, we will arrive at Les Diablerets, a charming alpine village nestled in the Swiss canton of Vaud. The village's name, translating to "little devils," has intriguing origins that we will uncover during our visit!
You'll have the opportunity to wander around Les Diablerets at your own leisure, where you can savor stunning views of Glacier 3000, a renowned ski resort perched on an alpine glacier. This location features a variety of slopes and lifts, marking it as a significant winter hotspot in Switzerland.
For those eager to witness the breathtaking vistas from the summit of Glacier 3000, optional cable car tickets are available. Alternatively, if you prefer to admire the glacier from afar, you can relax in Les Diablerets, explore its charming streets, and sample local delicacies.
In the afternoon, we will gather in the village center for our return trip to Montreux, with an anticipated arrival back at our starting point by 5 pm.
