Torally recommend La Vacanza Travel. In my travel fatigue, I booked the wrong date but La Vacanza Travel were more than happy to amend the ticket for me. Awesome scenery on the Glacier 3000 trip. David (in the photo) gave great local commentary on the trip. The Glacier 3000 view was awesome. We were extremely lucky the Peak Walk opened during our visit for the 1st time in over 2 weeks due to bad weather. Dont be scared of the ski lifts, give them a try so you can try the sledging as they are both great fun. Only downside to the trip was the horrendous Sunday traffic heading to the Montreux Christmas Market. Once we got there, it was heaving. You couldn't move, or see anything so we left and headed back to the coach. Not a fault of La Vacanza Travel at all, but it took away from our awesome day. Initially it seems an expensive trip but its worth it. Thank you 😊

Although due to poor visability & that snow had been falling for days before, the bridge was closed. I was a bit disappointed but you can,t predict weather especially thay high up a mountain. I still enjoyed the experience of the trip.

There where a few issues with my hotel pick up but managed to sort this via phone with the tour guide Babis. The tour bus was nice and comfy. Babis explained the tour to our group before starting and was giving us lots of info along the way about the areas. Cable car up the mountain was fantastic, although it was very windy and our tour got cut short due to this. Babis arranged for us to go to a local castle to make up for this though which was amazing. Overall the day was lovely, however I felt it was overpriced for what was included.
