The Rochers de Naye mountain is the highest peak near Montreux, at just over 2000m. The vintage mountain train takes 55 mins to travel from Montreux to the top, with fantastic views the whole ride.

At the top, you'll find a restaurant and nice views. But the best views are a short hike up to an observation terrace on the edge of the cliffs, with breathtaking panorama across Lake Geneva and the Swiss and French Alps. Casual hikers can wander the top and visit the alpine garden, while serious hikers can start epic treks from here. There's also a a marmot enclosure, and alpine flower garden.

We loved our visit and think it's a must-do for any trip to the Montreux Riviera area.
