We had a great day going up glacier 3000. Cable car, chair lift, glacier walk, toboggan run and walking across bridge was excellent. Our guide Normunds was brilliant. Would highly recommend.
Dear Sir, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the full Glacier 3000 experience—from the cable car and chair lift to the glacier walk, toboggan run, and bridge. It’s great to know that Normunds made your day even better. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another tour soon! Best regards
This was a really good half day out, from Montreux it was not a full day. The guide was brilliant and had wine and snacks waiting for us when we came down the mountain. The 3 stars are for the cost, £360 for 2 people for half a day is a lot of money, like most things in Switzerland expensive is the norm. Still a good experience
Dear guest, Thank you for your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the half-day tour, the guide, and the refreshments after your descent. Regarding the cost, we understand that it may seem high. However, activities such as the cable car and mountain experiences in Switzerland are generally expensive due to high operational and safety standards, as well as the overall cost of living. We strive to provide a high-quality and memorable experience that reflects these factors. We’re glad to know that, despite the cost, you still had a good experience. Best regards
Our time up top of Glacier 3000 was too short for the money paid. We only had two hours up top which is very rushed to go on the chairlift to walk on the Glacier, do the toboggan run, do the peak to peak walk and go to the view point. Paid $561 Cdn for the tour.
Dear guest, Thank you for sharing your kind feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you felt the time at Glacier 3000 was too short. We understand that with so many activities—chairlift, glacier walk, toboggan run, Peak Walk, and viewpoint—it can feel rushed. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you on another tour where you can enjoy a more relaxed experience. Kind regards
Free time to gang around the glacier was worth it. Glad we got a bus instead of the train up. The tide was comfortable. Our guide was good.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the free time around the glacier and that taking the bus made the trip comfortable. It’s great to know that your guide added to the experience. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon! Best regards

The views on the cable car and from the suspension bridge were spectacular, the bobsled coaster was a lot of fun!! The only thing we did not appreciate was our guide, Roger. He started out nice but quickly turned rude. We would recommend the experience itself but would not want Roger as our guide.
