    Hi pankaj.goel,

    That would be quite ambitious to do in one day. Assuming you arrive in Geneva early morning, you would need 1 hour to travel to Montreux, then around 20 mins to reach the Chillon castle: http://www.myswissalps.com/chilloncastle. The regional train from Montreux takes you to Broc (Chocolate Factory) in 1.5 hours, from there to Gruyeres (Cheese Factory) in another 30 mins. Will you be travelling with your luggage throughout this journey or leaving them in storage in Montreux? If you are planning to travel on the Golden Pass train from Montreux to Interlaken via Zweisimmen, the journey will take you at least 3 hours.

    In short you’d be spending a long time on the train in one day.

    For more information about the Golden Pass, please see here: http://www.myswissalps.com/go ldenpass

    I highly recommend using the SBB timetable (http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable) to plan your journey. You can download the mobile app from this page (http://www.myswissalps.com/ab outswitzerland/practic al/websites)

    Regards,

    Anna

    Consider skipping the castle, or taking the faster route to Interaken via Bern.

    When are you traveling?

    Thanks. Good time to visit Montreux and the region around Gruyeres and Broc. However, with thyat very difficult schedule, you won’t have much time to enjoy things like a walk along the lake from Montreux station to the castle.
