May 2017-Glacier 3000 and Golden Pass
-
I need some advice for the train from Montreux to Lauterbrunnen. Copied this information:
Train from Montreux to Lauterbrunnen:
The full route of the GoldenPass scenic line actually goes from Montreux to Lucerne, not Lauterbrunnen. The connection from Montreux to Lucerne on the GoldenPass line involves 2 train changes en route; once in Zweisimmen and then once in Interlaken. You can take a connection from Montreux to Lauterbrunnen that goes via Zweisimmen and Interlaken, in which case you would be on the GoldenPass scenic route until you get to Interlaken. Interlaken is then just a short train ride from Lauterbrunnen. In its entirety, this connection from Montreux to Lauterbrunnen would take just over 3.5 hours in duration. More details about reservations at this link.
(community.raileurope.c om/raileurope/topics/g oldenpass-reservation-from-montreux-to-lauterbrunnen) (We have the Swiss Pass.)
We can book the trip from Montreux to Lauterbrunnen the day before, so I don’t think that we need to book online now??
Glacier 3000
Another piece to this day is Glacier 3000, which we would love to experience if the weather is clear enough. I read that you take the train from Montreux to Les Diablerets, and then a postbus(can’t find the cost on this) to the cable car station in Col du Pillon and on to Glacier 3000. (We will have the Swiss Pass). I have been trying to figure out Glacier 3000. The tickets are sold as return or one way. I assume return is another way of saying round trip. We would be there for the views, the Peak Walk looks amazing, walking or snow bus on the glacier. Although that may be my husband only on the Peak Walk, will have to see it to decide for me! :):)
I have read some pretty negative reviews for Glacier 3000, with one comment that it was going out of business. I would love to hear from the forum on the topic of Glacier 3000, opinions and tips.
If we stop at Glacier 3000, is there a way to take the Golden Pass Train from there to Interlaken? We started the trip with the Cable car at Col du Pilon, we would return there. I could sure use some help right now. How to get from there to the Golden Pass and Interlaken. From Interlaken we will take the train to Lauterbrunnen.
It is 1 hour and 22 minutes from Montreux to Les Diablerets. We start the day early at Glacier 3000. I think we need several hours there, you opinion. We need to get a train to Interlaken. I have looked and haven’t quite figured it out yet. I don’t think there is any way to ride the Golden Pass from Les Diablerets to Interlaken. When I googled it, I found routes that had a taxi and then a bus and then a train. Can someone send me in the right direction?:)
Thank you for your advice.
