Gondola ride to Glacier 3000 was a great thrill. After three Gondola rides, we arrived at the upper station. Our walk up to the peaks, across the "Tissot Peak Walk" suspension bridge, was greeted with severe blowing which made the walk more memorable and thrilling. As we timed the visit to the early hours of the day the place was less crowded. All around were fantastic ski fields. Suspension bridge, was rather narrow but was the bliss of this tour. It was a thrill to walk across this slightly bouncy construction to reach the second peak. The panorama from the summit at glacier 3000 was breathtaking.
One of the best place I have ever visited. The peak walk is breathtaking. It has the highest Alpine coaster which I loved.
Our chilly visit happened just after the first two snows of the fall if 2023. It was rather cold, but the sunshine was provided some warmth. Whether it was the cold or lateness in the fall we had very few other visitors up there at the Skybridge during our visit. The bridge itself is quite narrow which makes passing other tourist rather touchy. The bridge also sways and bounces depending on the number of individuals on it. Those are minor inconveniences compared to the "Instagrammers" who try to hog the big for their personal photo shoot. Can't imagine what this place would be like during a busy summer day!
Glacier 3000 is a MUST do if you visit the Montreux area. We also recommend the Alpine coaster when there!
We went as a family of 4 from Geneva. We booked the dog sled ride as extra online. We had booked for Saturday but got a call on Friday from the dog sled co to say it would have to be cancelled due to poor visibility. Thankfully we were able to move our booking to Sunday. The weather and views are stunning - blue skies and crisp white snow. The Peak Walk has amazing views. However, the Ice Express ski lift was closed as it was too cold, apparently. There is no way to check this - the webcam showed glorious blue skies. This all meant we couldn't do the dog sled or the glacier walk (both require going down the ski lift). We found this out as we went to go for the skil lift. We had no indication it would be cancelled and still haven't heard from the dog sled co about a refund (no answer when we called). So all we could do is the Peak Walk. 2/3 things closed (plus we knew the two rides were closed). Montreux Christmas Market on the way back was OK, but very, very busy. It made the whole trip extremely expensive and very poor value for money. On the basis that there is no guarantee that anything will be open, we can't recommend it - it's too big a risk leaving a 13 and 15 year and 2 parents very disappointed.
