Just wanted to say that our itenerary in Switzerland came from your videos! I didn’t go up the gondola since I’m pregnant and they didn’t advise it for glacier 3000, but the restaurant at the bottom has fabulous service and good food ❤ Thanks for all the tips!
One really cool way to go there (if you are in the Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux, etc. area) is to take the little narrow gauge train from Aigle to Les Diablerets. It runs every hour and Aigle is right on the major train line connecting Geneva, etc., so within a very easy reach. That little train is more like a glorified street car and it starts by zigzagging through Aigle (the city) and then it begins climbing, a bit like the famous Montreux-Zweisimmen one, and then it goes through a short tunnel and... it's like entering a different world: mountains, gorges, snow, it's simply great. The ride is about 1 hour long, the train reverses direction in the middle (don't panic, you are not going back!). Once in Les Diablerets, hop on the post bus to the Glacier 3000 cable car station, it's just a few minutes' ride, and IIRC the bus is even synchronised with the train arrival so there is no big wait. The last train back to Aigle leaves Les Diablerets around 10:30pm so you can even stop for a dinner after the peak-walking.
@@JanPBtest I have no clue, I'm trying to figure that out as well. I'd assume if you find the right one on SSB you could book there, but we can only take our best guess at which one Jan meant by putting in the starting and end points in search and hoping we get the right thing.
Hi there is snow on only 1 mountain but not the others close by. Why is it so? The other mountains like tiltis, jaungfrau, matternhorn seems snow everywhere..?
This is a bucket list place for sure, definitely on the list next time I am in Montreux. Is the toboggan suitable for someone with mobility issues? Not a wheelchair user but limited walking and using a stick due to fatigue and pain.
The mountain coaster is currently closed! Our concierge said it’s not really worth it it’s overhyped to go all the way from Montreaux to Glacier 3000 just for the cliff walk. We went to Vevey and walked the city instead!
As a German who travels in Swiss often, I prefer. You can actually get outside and hike and walk on glacier here. Jungfraujoch experience is too much inside for me

😂 you think anyone's stupid enough to pay for that?! It's not hard to plan a trip 😂
It's nice to come across someone who share my view of the world today.
Mr. Cullen, thank you!

Does that train bus operate end of April/start of May?
@@caesiumx1334 I would assume so, it's a commuter line serving local communities.
Where can I buy ticket for this train? Thanks

this was how we reached Glacier 3000 from Montreux last dec, not easy yet worth it.
Hi Louis, which month of the year did you visit Glacier 3000? We are thinking of going jn June/July and would like to play with/see some snow?

Hi can two people ride this roller coater together? Can elderly also use?
Can we still see snow in July or August? We would like to try the experience walking on it.
Hi why ski lift was complicated for you? Couldn't understand what you said in video
Great 👍
Thank you so much ❤️
Very well made vlog. Keep it up
Such great views.
Where does the Alpine coaster end? Do we have to go back top for the peak walk?
Good sharing. Tqvm
Hi, is this easy enough to navigate without booking a tour?
Is the Transport from montreux included in Swiss travel card?
We drove from past this station a few weeks ago.
What is the ticket for ski lift?

Do you have to pay extra if you go here?
When u went to glacier 3000 ?
In which month you visited here
What month did you go in Glacier 3000?

Is this better than the jungfraujoch?
As a German who travels in Swiss often, I prefer. You can actually get outside and hike and walk on glacier here. Jungfraujoch experience is too much inside for me
How was the drone footage obtained? Seems illegal
