Our journey to Glacier 3000 began with a short drive from our beautiful Swiss Chalet Hotel to the Col du Pillon, where we parked and boarded the morning gondola. The ascent was breathtaking, with panoramic views of snow-capped peaks.
Upon reaching the summit station at Scex Rouge, we wasted no time heading to the Peak Walk by Tissot, a suspension bridge that uniquely connects two mountain peaks. The recently added elevator made accessing the bridge easier than ever, and we were fortunate to experience it before the crowds arrived.
The sky was a brilliant blue—such a contrast from our previous visit when clouds obscured the views. From the bridge, you can see iconic peaks like the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, and Jungfrau in the distance, feeling truly on top of the world.
After crossing the Peak Walk, we hit the slopes for skiing and snowboarding. With over 30 kilometers of pistes, Glacier 3000 offers a unique opportunity to ski on a glacier amidst stunning alpine scenery. We were lucky to have much of the terrain to ourselves that day, making for an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re an avid skier or simply enjoy winter sports, there’s something magical about skiing at such an altitude. For those less inclined toward skiing, activities like sled dog rides or the Glacier Walk.
Taking a break, we warmed up in the newly renovated panoramic café at the summit. With its floor-to-ceiling windows and rooftop terrace, it offered some of the most spectacular views we’ve ever seen—perfect for soaking in the beauty of Switzerland’s Vaudois Alps. Glacier 3000 is more than just a destination; it’s an all-season wonderland offering thrills, relaxation, and vistas. Whether you’re crossing suspension bridges, skiing on glaciers, or simply savoring a hot drink while gazing at iconic peaks, this is a must-visit spot for any Swiss bucket list!
A big thank you to Alpes Vaudoises and Glacier 3000 for hosting us and giving us the opportunity to experience this incredible adventure. While this was a sponsored post, all opinions and impressions are entirely our own.
