Hi Adrian R and welcome to MySwissAlps.com!

Yes, it is doable to get to Glacier 3000 from Montreux, for more details please visit: http://www.myswissalps.com/glacier3000/gettingthere. The route takes 1,5 hrs and you should change twice.

For the exact routing please use the SBB timetable (if you are not familiar with it, please read first this guide: http://www.myswissalps.com/timetable). The bus stop near the valley station is called ‘Col-du-Pillon, Glacier 3000’. You should use that to be able to search for the timetable.

Your website indicates taking the bus from Gstaad to the chairlift, but it stops in Les Diablerets first. Is it better to go from Les Diablerets?

Hi Adrian R,

We mention two direct bus lines to the valley station of Glacier 3000 at https://www.myswissalps.com/glacier3000/gettingthere: one from Les Diablerets and one from Gstaad. If you’re traveling from Montreux, you’ll first take a train to Aigle, then a train to Les Diablerets and then a bus to the valley station. You won’t pass Gstaad on your route: that’s farther up north.

You can best use the timetable as Ildikó suggested. That way you’ll find the exact details for your journey. If you aren’t familiar with it yet, the explanation at https://www.myswissalps.com/timetable may be of help.

You can travel via Gstaad if you like though. You’ll then use a section of the GoldenPass route (https://www.myswissalps.com/goldenpass/gettingthere). Enter “Gstaad” as a via-station in the timetable in that case. This option will take 45-50 minutes longer than via Aigle and Les Diablerets.

The Col du Pillon (Col = Pass) road runs from Les Diablerets to Gstaad. The cable car to the so called Glacier 3000 starts from the summit of the Col du Pillon. That is why there are two ways of getting to the Glacier, from the Gstaad end or from the Les Diablerets end.
