5Swiss Alps
My experience in the Swiss Alps was absolutely unforgettable. The breathtaking mountain scenery, peaceful surroundings, crystal-clear lakes, and charming villages made the trip truly special. Every moment, from enjoying the stunning views to exploring the beautiful alpine landscapes, felt like a memorable adventure. The Swiss Alps are a perfect destination for anyone looking for natural beauty, relaxation, and an unforgettable travel experience.
5Breathtaking views...worth it!
Breathtaking views from the very start. As soon as you get out of town have your camera ready! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. THe cable car rides were stunning. Once you reach the glacier observation area, there is an additional set of stairs and bridge to a higher point. Spectacular view for those brave and physically able. We ate fondue at the restaurant and it was very tasty. We stopped at Montreux on the way back. You could visit the Queen rock group museum or walk along Lake Geneva. Those that went to the museum liked it. The pick-up/drop-off site is easy to get to by subway train. We enjoyed the day and would recommend to you.
5Fantastic trip
Great way to see the natural beauty of Switzerland. Lots to do at the top. Highly recommend hiking the ridge line.
3The natural experience...
The natural experience was wonderful. We lucked out on the weather - it was a bright, sunny day and the views were breathtaking. The human experience was less than satisfactory: Babis our tour guide was average at his job and his manner was rude and insensitive. As was the guy manning the ski lift - not sure if it’s the general Swiss comportment but those interactions left a bad taste.
5Swiss experience
It's a taste of Switzerland! The mountain could still be very cold during Spring time. In our case, it's -16 degree. Don't forget to bring warm clothes, hat, and gloves with you!
5Convenient and Stress Free
I don't normally do group tours but getting to Riviera Col du Pillon seemed too complicated to change trains onto a bus, etc. This tour was worth it and made the visit very convenient. On this tour, Christoph, picked us up in a bus and took us up the windy mountain roads to the Cable car experience up to the Peak Walk. There was nothing I had to think about which made it less stressful to plan and the ability to take a nap on the bus and just enjoy the Peak Walk. On this kind of a tour, the guide is not giving you a history of the are or any extensive speeches (which I was fine with). I know some other tour guides come with telling you all about he history and everything. I was really fine with the transportation and ushering. I would highly recommend! The Peak Walk was worth a visit!
