Rochers-de-Naye

Hold your breath and board this train that climbs, climbs, and climbs some more. Nothing scares it, neither the steep slopes nor the snow. At the Rochers-de-Naye, at over 2,000 metres altitude, what amazing scenery! Lake Geneva in all its glory. Don’t leave the place without saying hello to the marmots, the mascot of the Alps. A tip: it is said that this is where the real Santa Claus spends the winter.

A classic Swiss train ride with spectacular views leading to the nostalgic summit building and small ski area. Rochers de Naye features beautiful hikes, Mongolian huts, marmot villages, an alpine garden and even Santa’s office depending on the season. A must visit if in the Montreux area. If the weather is clear the views are absolutely stunning.

TELECABINE LEYSIN - LA BERNEUSE

Reviewed By alano645

Short walk down hill from our hotel to the cable car station, very helpful staff assisted us into the gondola. The views on the way up were fantastic. At the top, sitting in the warm sunshine with mountains as far as the eye could see and a very pleasant bar/cafe, plus a revolving restaurant what more could one want.
