Hi, my wife and I will be staying in Montreux from Feb 1 – 5, 2019.

One day, we are planning to visit Blausee and Oeschinensee. Are these two lakes accessible in winter. Is it difficult to walk to these two lakes?

On another day, we may visit Leysin Tobogganning Park. As the webiste of the Park in in French, could you please advise whether reservation is compulsory? Or can we just walk in on a weekday? This is the first time we try tubing, and we want some easy rides. Is this park recommended? Can you recommend some other toboggan runs near Montreux?

Thanks.

Hi Calvinmfha and welcome MySwissAlps!

Google Chrome usually does a good job translating but there is another site in English as well: http://www.aigle-leysin-lesmosses.ch/en/P492/t obogganing-park

I’ve never known a need to reserve tobogganing, but I’ve never visited the park myself.

You’ll find both lakes accessible. I’ve only been to the Blausee (last January). It is small and quiet with a nice hotel with restaurant and spa on-site. Read about my trip there here: http://www.myswissalps.com/fo rum/topic/blausee-and-brig-2-days-1-night

Oeschinensee has more activities in the area to enjoy but I haven’t been there personally: http://www.oeschinensee.ch/en /

If you are looking for a mountain excursion, the Glacier 3000 is a great trip too: http://www.myswissalps.com/fo rum/topic/day-trip-to-glacier-3000-near-gstaad

Zermatt is also a great town with the Matterhorn and can be done as a day trip: http://www.myswissalps.com/ze rmatt
