Beautiful vineyards even during winter, it is worth it if you are in the region of Montreux. My friend took me there with her car and we had a beautiful view of the lake with the vineyards. I am sure it looks even more beautiful when the weather is clear and when they are more green. It was the first week of January.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 969 reviews
Hold your breath and board this train that climbs, climbs, and climbs some more. Nothing scares it, neither the steep slopes nor the snow. At the Rochers-de-Naye, at over 2,000 metres altitude, what amazing scenery! Lake Geneva in all its glory. Don’t leave the place without saying hello to the marmots, the mascot of the Alps. A tip: it is said that this is where the real Santa Claus spends the winter.

A classic Swiss train ride with spectacular views leading to the nostalgic summit building and small ski area. Rochers de Naye features beautiful hikes, Mongolian huts, marmot villages, an alpine garden and even Santa’s office depending on the season. A must visit if in the Montreux area. If the weather is clear the views are absolutely stunning.

9. Grottes de Vallorbe
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 360 reviews
The Caves at Vallorbe (Canton de Vaud) in the Swiss Jura were opened to the public a quarter of a century ago. They afford a spectacular display of the beauty of natural rock, enhanced entirely by natural illumination. For millions of years the limestone layers were eroded by the Orbe, a river which runs underground before bursting from the rocks – seemingly as a natural spring of which the Vallorbe Caves are the faithful guardians. Inside these caves, which are among the most beautiful in Europe, there is a display – the “Fairies’ Treasure” in which more than 250 mineral samples from all over the World are exhibited in four domed rooms hewn from the natural rock.

This is an amazing place to visit and worth spending some time. Plenty of language translations available. Take your time to walk along the Orbe and discover the caves. Great route through spectacular formations with a highlight at the end. Enjoy the views, nature and the ambiance. This is a unique place and you definitely must see it.
