Hi team,

I’m currently in Montreux for the next two days and thinking what all can be done from here…. The climate does not seem to be right for mountain excursions for the next 2 days so will have to make change in my plans for Gornegrat and glacier 3000.
Help me with what can be done…..

Hi Kaju

Pity about the weather. There is plenty to do in Montreux depending on your interests!

You can find some ideas here: http://www.myswissalps.com/mo ntreux/activities

From Montreux you can visit the cheese factory in Gruyeres followed by the chocolate factory in Broc which is a nice day trip and can be done in not so good weather.

If not you can always go to Geneva http://www.myswissalps.com/ge neva or Lausanne http://www.myswissalps.com/la usanne, plenty of interesting museums there to visit.

If you’re into spas, there’s a couple of really nice ones in Le Deck (in Lavaux) or in Le Mirador hotel in Mont-Pelerin.

And who can forget Chaplin’s world near Vevey! http://www.chaplinsworld.com/ en

You can use the timetable to figure out train transport to all these destinations: http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable

Hope that helps?

Maria.

Not too far from Lausanne are the caves at Vallorbe. Les Grottes de Vallorbe.

For future reference, near Montreux is the Blonay-Chamby Railway Museum, but this year it opens only as of May 4th. The website is in French and German. Chemin de Fer-Musée Blonay-Chamby

I enjoyed the Queen Experience exhibit inside of the Casino, explains the connection between Queen (music group) and Montreux.

Hi Kajal-

You also learned something about the way Swiss weather forecasts work.

Especialy in the mountains, not nearly as a accurate as the train timetable. ;-(
