Morning light skims across Lake Thun as the car slips out of Interlaken, trading turquoise water for vineyard‑draped slopes and limestone walls. The road threads past Spiez and through the Vaud Alps, where switchbacks tease higher air and the peaks start to gather. By the time you reach Col du Pillon, the mountains feel close enough to lean in. A cable car rises toward Scex Rouge, and the glacier greets you with crunching snow underfoot—no matter the month.

Dress for rapid weather shifts
Glacier 3000 is windy and much colder than the valley—pack a warm midlayer, shell, and gloves even in summer.
Footwear with grip
Icy, snow‑packed paths make lightweight hiking shoes or winter‑ready sneakers with good traction the safest choice.
Sun protection at altitude
UV intensity is stronger on snow; bring sunglasses with high UV rating and apply SPF 30+ sunscreen.
Know your heights
The Peak Walk is narrow and exposed; those with vertigo can enjoy the viewpoints without crossing the bridge.
Insulating midlayer and windproof shell
Keeps you warm and protected from summit gusts that can cut through lighter clothing.
Grippy walking shoes or light hikers
Traction matters on snow‑polished paths and metal stairways around the summit.
Sunglasses with Category 3–4 lenses
Glare off snow and lake surfaces is intense in bright months.
