    Hi, we are going to Glacier 3000 today and would like to continue to Chateau de Chillon after that.

    It seems like not possible when I checked the SBB app.

    Appreciate urgent help on this.

    Thanks!

    Serene.

    Catch the bus from Col-du-Pillon to Les Diablerets. Then get the train to Aigle. From there get a train to Montreux.

    Have a look at the map at http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/validity to see the route.

    You may have to look the route up in bits if Col-du-Pillon to Montreux via Les Diablerets and Aigle doesn’t work. It’s a great train ride.

    The nearest train station to the Chateau is Villeneuve or you can go to Montreux and get a bus/train back t0 the Chateau.

    Hi Serenetee,

    Agree with Rockoyster. It’s Bus 180 from Col-du-Pillon. That connection should get you to Montreux and the castle in less than 2 hours.

    The SBB app works fine on my phone 🙂 Have a look at the screenshots. Hope that helps!

    Regards,

    Anna
