Glacier 3000

Fodor's Review:

The ride on Glacier 3000, an aerial cableway strung from its station at Col du Pillon 7 km (4 mi) outside the resort village to a shelf at Scex-Rouge, is a thrill and well worth the steep fare. Vistas of Alpine peaks, vast meadows, and clusters of sloping-roof farmhouses extend to Lac Léman and the Jura mountains. The 20-minute ascent is done in two segments, ending at the metallic, jewel box-shaped restaurant designed by world-famous architect Mario Botta. In warm weather, skiers share the glacial zone with snowcat (motorized vehicle) and dogsled tours.

  • Cost: 55 SF
