Operated by Swisstours Transport · Les Diablerets, Vaud
The road leaves the Vaud Riviera and climbs toward the high country, where chalet roofs hunker under snow and larch forests thin into rock. Your driver eases through Les Diablerets—“the little devils”—and up to Col du Pillon, where the Glacier 3000 cable car lifts off with a clean swing. Alpine walls fall away, the valley becoming a model village as the cabin glides over cliffs and crevasses. In 15 minutes you’re delivered to Scex Rouge (approx. 2,971 m), the air crisp and insistent, the horizon crowded with celebrity summits: Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau. The mountains aren’t shy up here; they step forward and dare you to look longer.
moderate.
8–10 hours.
Comfortable walking at altitude on stairs and occasionally icy surfaces; no technical climbing required.
Access to the Peak Walk is included with the Glacier 3000 summit ticket; some tour options bundle the cable car and bridge while others require purchasing the lift ticket on site—confirm your selection when booking.
The bridge is about 107 meters long and professionally engineered with strict weather protocols. It closes during high winds or storms for safety.
Yes. The cable car is accessible and walking distances can be short, but the bridge is not stroller-friendly and exposure may feel intense. Handholding and warm layers help.
Even in summer, expect 0–10°C (32–50°F) with wind chill. Winter conditions are colder; dress in layers and bring a hat and gloves.
Some visitors notice quicker breathing or mild dizziness at ~3,000 m. Hydrate, move slowly, and rest if needed; symptoms usually ease with a short break.
Operations adjust quickly. The cable car may still run, but the Peak Walk and certain activities can close. Your driver-guide can pivot the schedule, including extra time in Montreux if needed.
Les Diablerets takes its name from old tales of mischievous mountain spirits, while Montreux’s lakeside promenades grew famous with the Montreux Jazz Festival and a long tradition of grand hotels.
Glaciers here are retreating; stay on marked paths and avoid stepping off snow bridges. Pack out all waste and respect weather-related closures to minimize impact.
