We couldn't get everything accomplished in one day, being the beginners that we are, so we went back to Montreux today. This time, we decided to take a wooden cog train up 6,600 feet to the top of Rochers de Naye. The train takes 50 minutes to get to the top and then supposedly you can see all the way to Geneva...on a clear day (take note). Although there were only a few clouds when looking out my apartment, once we got to the top, we were in one giant cloud and couldn't see anything! You live and you learn, the train ride itself was worth it and I highly recommend, don't be self conscious about being a tourist, take the pictures on the train.
On our way up, we could see houses on the hills, multiple train stops, most of Lake Geneva and even hang gliders! We started at the bottom in t-shirts and by the time we reached the top, we had on our coats and we were looking at multiple feet of snow! Once you get to the top, if you're stuck in a giant cloud, there is always wine. Highly recommend taking this trip, just go on a crystal clear day.
