5.Montreux: Snowshoe Trek with Fondue and Wine

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $213

Join guide Raoul for a 3 to 4 hour snowshoe outing above Montreux and Lake Geneva. You will walk through snowy woodland and across bright ridges, with the choice of midday, sunset, or moonlit conditions. Snowshoes, poles, fondue, local wine, and hot tea are included.

“Vu que la météo n’était pas parfaite, Raoul nous a donné l’option d’un tour plutôt „sauvage“ dans la forêt. C’était comme dans un compte de fée 🌲✨🧙‍♀️ et il nous a fait la fondue dans une toute petite cabane enneigée au milieu de la forêt. Il était un tour guide génial et extrêmement gentil et on le recommande à toute le monde.”
