Ride the Scenic Cog Train - Switzerland Vacations Highlight
Hotels in Montreux are very close to the Cog train. Go skiing at one of our Swiss country resorts and you could be carving fresh Alps snow with the right conditions
From your Hotel in Montreux, the Golf Hotel René Capt, it is a short walk to the train station from where the
train leaves to les Rochers-de-Naye. Above Montreux, the Rochers-de-Naye belvedere offers a
breathtaking view of Lake Geneva and the Alps. Marmot's Paradise, the Alpine Garden and Mongolian
yurts.
The cogwheel train connects Montreux to Rochers-de-Naye (2,042 m) in 55 minutes, passing from scenery
full of palm trees to rare Edelweiss. The ascent on the steep slope is impressive and the mountain crest
audacious.
There is something mystical about the panorama offered by Rochers-de-Naye, an impression reinforced
by the yurts which can be rented for a night. Enjoy the steep slopes, the chains of summits rising
successively in the mist, the bottom of verdant valleys and the iridescent blue of Lake Geneva.
A few steps away from the yurts is the animal park Marmots' Paradise It shows marmot breeds from
around the world. The animals can be seen in their natural habitat.
The Alpine garden La Rambertia nestles on a sheer slope between two rocky outcrops. The harshness of
the mountain climate is a permanent challenge to the survival of this collection of 1,000 Alpine plants.
