Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Col du Pillon, 1865 Les Diablerets, Switzerland

After driving along the Lake Geneva we arrive in the picturesque area of Les Diablerets (little devils) in the heart of the Alps Vaudoises at Col du Pillon.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Glacier 3000, Col du Pillon, Les Diablerets 1865 Switzerland

If option selected, take the cable car to Glacier 3000 : Those who explore the Glacier 3000 glacier area will experience nature close up and will not forget the spectacular scenery for a long time. Ideal for such an experience is the Glacier Walk, a marked glacier trail. 
If you want some fun, ride the Alpine coaster to raise your adrenaline level and get your heart beating hard! 

Try a discovery tour of the glacier: Did you ever ride along in a snow cat? No? Then it is high time to do so! The Snow Bus from Glacier 3000 is the best opportunity to do this. It drives like a caterpillar over the crisp snow and has room for up to 20 people. And it is also the most pleasant way to discover the glacier area – from the comfort of your own seat. It is ride of a truly different nature – for young and old! 

Glacier 3000 offers a panoramic restaurant, work of the architect Mario Botta, who designed the San Francisco Museum of Art.

Duration: 4 hours

Stop At: Peak Walk By Tissot, Gstaad 3000 AG Glacier 3000 Col du Pillon, 1865 Les Diablerets, Switzerland

Discover the new PEAK WALK BY TISSOT; there is only one suspension bridge in the world that connects two mountain peaks. It invites you to an adventure that you will not easily forget.The 107 metre long and 80 centimetre wide bridge offers a stunning view onto the Alps: Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau are visible from the bridge and offer grandiose views, far off into the distance. 

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Vieille-Ville de Montreux, rue du Pont, Montreux 1820 Switzerland

Then discover the famous town of Montreux. Because of the exceptionally mild climate Montreux is called the capital of the Vaud Riviera. Plants associated with the Mediterranean, such as pines, cypresses and palm trees grow here. Charlie Chaplin, Lord Byon, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and several other famous people of world-renown lived and continue to live on this area.

Great tour! Would definitely recommend doing this tour if you're looking for a more quiet escape to the mountains around Geneva. The tour guide was very polite, easy-going and up for a laugh at all times. Very informative and approachable for any request or question you might have. The scenery while driving up the mountains is unreal around this time of the year. Lots of snow up at the top so a good pair of waterproof shoes would be a good idea. Afterwards, heading towards Montreux. A lively town with amazing views of the Riviera. I'd prefer at least one more extra hour for that part but overall it's a great experience.

Bus driver was very engaging and provided lots of interesting facts along the way. Wind, cold, and snow made for a true mountain experience!

We had the most fabulous day. Babis was our driver and guide, he did a wonderful job. He provided commentary pointing out interesting places. He took care of us on the mountain ensuring we had the best experience and showing us how to Toboggan. The walk was a highlight and taking in the breathtaking scenery. I would highly recommend Babis and Swiss Tours.

The peak walk was unreal! Unfortunately the Alpine coaster was closed. Montreux is a cute little town. Wish we had more time to explore.

We started at 8am and were dropped at 5.30pm. When we reached the peak, we were given literally 2hrs on the dot and thats including lunch and toilet break. Within that time we have to finish everything including sight seeing. Once we reached to the river, we were only given 1hr to roam around. No toilets in the bus. Very poor experience for the money we paid
