Travelers

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.

Adventure Tips

Mind the altitude

Drink water en route and pace your steps—at ~3,000 m even short walks feel harder. Take brief breaks on the Peak Walk approaches.

Secure loose items

Wind can rise quickly on the bridge; stash hats and keep phones/cameras on straps to avoid a costly drop.

Footwear with grip

Expect compact snow or ice patches year-round; wear lugged soles or microspikes in shoulder seasons.

Go early for views

Morning departures beat clouds and queues, and lighting is better for photographing the Peak Walk and panorama.

History

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.

Conservation

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.
