Private day tour in Montreux: walking tour and train ride to Rochers de Naye
Stunning views on the Alps and the lake from the height of 2000 m
6 hours
from 580 CHF (~750 USD)
Located in the canton of Vaud, Montreux sits beautifully on the northeastern edge of Lake Geneva at the base of the Alps. Thanks to its unique, mild weather, it has earned the nickname “the Swiss Riviera” and has been a popular destination for tourists for hundreds of years.
We’ll start our day with the spectacular cogwheel train ride, which offers breathtaking views of this realm of enchantment. There, atop the Rochers‑de‑Naye mountain, the real Swiss Santa Claus resides until December 24! Children and adults alike will make magical memories and receive a precious gift!
And for lunch we suggest a charming, traditional Swiss chalet‑style restaurant located on the way from Rochers‑de‑Naye to Montreux and which offers stunning views! The best choice for delicious Swiss fondue!
Customize Your Day: The Queen Studio and/or Chillon Castle can be easily added to your Montreux tour itinerary upon booking.
Tour Highlights:
- Arrive at Montreux train station
- From there we head up to the mountain by cog railway which will take us up to an altitude of around 2,000 m (6560 feet). The journey lasts 1 hour one way and on the top we will spend either 1 or 2 hours (the train gets down once per hour).
- Then we take the same train to descend to the most charming restaurant in the region. Staying just above Montreux, it provides stunning views and absolutely delicious food. The best place to try the famous Swiss fondue!
- As soon as we are ready to continue, we descend to Montreux for a nice 1,5 h city walking tour.
Additional expenses:
- cog train tickets
- lunch/dinner at the restaurant

Anna was lovely and gave us a fantastic waking tour of Geneva! We learned so much from her about the history of Geneva which was our priority. She made sure to confirm that we were seeing everything which was a priority and was super flexible.

It was everything we wanted. Saw so many sights and love the history. Anna was personable, warm and full of knowledge. The cheese tasting with wine was lovely, followed by touring more of the city and off to experience Chocolates. Lovely day. Thank you!

Thank you for your prompt responses, for the flexibility and individual approach to the request. I didn´t attend the excursion by myself, my task was to find a guide for my colleagues who had a business trip to Lausanne. Anna took on communication with them and my colleagues were absolutely satisfied. Thanks again!

Anna was fantastic, so was the tour. She is extremely knowledgeable and it’s a delight to spend time with her. She took care of everything for us - I will hire her the next time I’m in Switzerland. Don't miss Lavaux! It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited...

Anna was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable, kind and fun. She took the time to listen to what we wanted to see and do on our tour and worked to make it happen. We loved the cheese shop she took us to, and learning all about the history of the city.
