Roches de Naye CarIf you don’t have time for the Chocolate Train or looking for a different experience, this rack railway train from Montreux to the high village of Rochers de Naye takes 45 minutes to climb above the mountain slope shores of Lake Geneva with views of the Alps. Operated by the Golden Pass railway service line, the train departs once every hour from the Montreux station. It climbs through the meadows and fields to Glion and Caux where elegant hotels dating back to the turn-of-the-last century nestle above the lake.

Especially for kids, discover the furry Marmot, the Swiss mountain squirrel relative of the Groundhog, at the Marmot Paradise, an exhibition with 14 species of the cute animal and a game for children to get to know this iconic local creature. If you get hungry the Plein Roc Restaurant offers self-service. In winter the, the special Father Christmas Train carries children from Montreux up to Santa’s workshop office nestled in the snows above the lake, with his real live reindeer and activities for kids.
