Blogs from Montreux, South-West, Switzerland, Europe - page 2

I visited Montreux, Switzerland from April 19 through the 25th this year. This visit brought back sweet memories. Montreux, part of the Vevey region, is one of the most beautiful place of Switzerland. It has it all: its breathtaking landscape, flowers, Alps, lake, jazz music and a particular commitment to enjoying life and people. Located in the flank of the Swiss Alps and an hour from the international city of Geneva by train, Montreux - part of the Swiss Riviera- offers a unique mix hard to find in Europe between lake and mountains and splendid microclimate.

Les Diablerets is a lovely Alpine village nestled in a Valley beneath the 3209m high glacier, Diablerets.The glacier has snow all year around for skiing, dog sledding and has an alpine coaster which drops you 1000m at the top. This ski community is about a 1.5 hour journey by train from our home in Lausanne, but it is actually quite close as the crow flies. Nate had a neuroscience conference, and the girls and I decided to tag along and play while he worked (poor daddy). The train ride itself was great. We took a traditional train about 20 minutes out of Lausanne and transferred to one of the little regional trains, which are precious! These little chug-chugs remind me of the "Little Engine That Could"...They ... read more
