Took the train around to Montreaux (same montreaux as "smoke on the water"). Took a cable train up to Roche's de Naye, at 2000m elevation could see everything, including Switzerland's 3 biggest mountains (though they looked tiny from a distance). Had a walk along the water edge in Montreaux and visited the Freddie Mercury statue and Queen Museum.
Fun fact of the day: in the Alps there are heaps of empty shacks for hikers to stay in if they are stuck in the wilderness overnight.Read more
Traveler Why is Freddie there?
Ellen Mihaljevic They used it for the Made in Heaven album cover, and then left it there were more people could see it
Traveler Re fun fact: I had a friend that hiked across Switzerland and used those huts as accom for the entire trip!
Ellen Mihaljevic Ahh that's so cool. Definitely a bucket list item
Traveler Love this pic - it's incredible
