The Rochers de Naye rack railway climbs from Montreux station to 2,042 metres, offering progressively more dramatic views over Lake Geneva as it ascends through forest, past alpine meadows, and onto the bare limestone summit. The panorama from the top takes in the full sweep of the lake, the Bernese Alps, and on clear days Mont Blanc to the southwest.
The journey takes about an hour each way and is operated by the Montreux–Glion–Rochers-de-Naye line. At the summit, there are walking trails, an alpine garden, a marmot enclosure, and a restaurant. The train runs year-round; in winter the upper section requires snowshoes to explore. A day return from Montreux costs around 72 CHF; the Swiss Travel Pass covers it. Come on a weekday for fewer crowds and bring warm layers even in summer — the summit temperature is typically 10 to 15 degrees cooler than the lake.
