Description

Start your snow-filled adventure with a pickup from your accommodation in Montreux. Your driver-guide will transport you through breathtaking Swiss landscapes, heading for the charming village of Erlenbach. Take in the snowy vistas along the way, as Switzerland’s natural beauty sets the scene for your day ahead.

Snowshoeing Between Frozen Lakes: After reaching Erlenbach, hop on a gondola to the Chrindi middle station, where a knowledgeable guide will provide snowshoes for your alpine trek. Walk across powdery snow along a well-marked path between two frozen lakes, surrounded by magnificent views of the Stockhorn Mountain and nearby peaks. This peaceful hike is suitable for all fitness levels, allowing you to take in the Swiss Alps in winter.

Fondue in a Snow Igloo: Following your snowshoe trek, retreat to a snug igloo tucked into the snow for a traditional Swiss fondue meal. Begin with an aperitif to warm up, then enjoy melted cheese, potatoes, bread, and a dessert. The cozy, snowy igloo provides a magical setting, making your meal a memorable experience.

Return to Montreux: As the day winds down, return to Erlenbach by gondola, taking in the final views of the Swiss Alps. Your driver-guide will then take you back to Montreux, wrapping up an unforgettable winter excursion.
