Sunset Snowshoe Tour High Above Montreux

The Sunset Snowshoe Tour high above Montreux offers a memorable winter adventure with breathtaking views over Lake Geneva and the surrounding Alps. The experience begins with a scenic ride on the cog railway from Montreux up to Rochers-de-Naye, a mountain known for its panoramic vistas. From the summit, participants set out on a guided snowshoe walk led by experienced guides from the Montreux Riviera Winter Sports School.

The trail winds through snow-covered forests and open clearings, gradually revealing sweeping views of the lake and distant peaks. As the sun begins to set, the landscape is transformed—snowy slopes and mountain ridges glow in shades of orange and red, creating a magical atmosphere unique to winter evenings in the Alps. Guides share insights about the region and ensure a safe, enjoyable outing for all skill levels.

After taking in the sunset, the return journey is illuminated by individual torches, adding a romantic and adventurous touch as you make your way back through the twilight. Participants are asked to bring their own snowshoes and sticks, while the cog railway provides comfortable access to the trailhead.

This tour is ideal for those seeking a peaceful, scenic escape from the city and a chance to experience the Montreux Riviera’s winter beauty from a new perspective. The combination of alpine scenery, sunset colors, and torchlit return makes for an unforgettable evening in the Swiss mountains.
