Summary:
This was a fantastic excursion! Though we went in Sept and there wasn’t much snow we still walked across the Peak Walk, rode the Alpine Roller coaster, and took the chairlift down to the glacier! Our guide, David, not only brought wine and cheese, he was knowledgeable and also had a great sense of humor! Highly recommend!

Summary:
From montreux pickup, coach travel a winding path to the destination. So be prepared for travel sickness. Otherwise it is an amazing journey to see this beautiful place especially when it was a sunny day.
The suspension bridge between two outcrops is exciting.
Not really that cold. Can even see the Matterhorn using the binoculars up there
Roger( nickname) was the driver and guide. He is knowledgeable of the area and even offered us hot tea and biscuits after the tour, which is much appreciated.
