Glacier 3000

Glacier 3000 is a huge area for snow fun and winter activities - almost all year round.

10 Highlights Glacier 3000

• Glacier 3000 is served by a three-section aerial cableway from the Col du Pillon and Reusch passes to the Scex Rouge (2940 m above sea level).
• The freeride areas at Glacier3000 become a venue for training with the pros every year in April.
• The Dôme Hike is the highest point of Glacier 3000 at 3016 m. A wide and comfortable path leads up to it.
• The Peak Walk by Tissot is the only suspension bridge in the world that connects two mountain peaks. It is about 100 m long.
• A naturally formed ice grotto is called Ice Cathedral and can be reached in 15 min walk from the valley station of the chairlift ICE Express. Access is possible only in autumn and winter.
• 40 km/h is reached by the summer toboggan run, here called "Alpine Coaster".
• Between 3000 and 1300 m altitude, the high alpine area is snow-sure between November and May
• Freeride skiing is very popular here. You just follow your own track and enjoy the scenery of the glacier.
• Dog sleds with huskies drive over the glacier from November to March.
• A snowbus holds up to 20 people. It drives like a snowcat over the snow and lets you effortlessly explore the landscape of Glaciier 3000.

The Tsanfleuron glacier is the starting point for a ski paradise with 28 km of slopes stretching down to 1350 m above sea level. The Peak Walk by Tissot is almost flat. From it you can see not only the Jungfrau massif but also the Matterhorn. The view even goes as far as Mont Blanc.

The glacier has good snow conditions all year round. Many winter activities can therefore also be done in summer

Sightseeing Glacier 3000

The biggest sight is the glacier itself and the Peak Walk, which connects two mountain peaks and leads across the glacier. At Glacier 3000 the glacier can be seen from below as well. Einkathedrale is called a grotto that fills with water every year again and may be visited.

The sights at Glacier 3000 include:

• Dôme Hike
• Peak Walk by Tissot at Glacier 3000
• Ice Cathedral

Dôme Hike

Dôme Hike is the highest point of Glacier 3000 at 3016 m. A wide and comfortable path for a walk leads up to it.

The hike starts at Scex Rouge at 2940 m a.s.l. and descends along a marked path to Col de Prapio. From there, two less pronounced ascents lead in a southwesterly direction up to Le Dôme. The Dôme is also called Steinmannli because of the cairns. The summit of the Dôme is marked with a large cairn.

The pleasantly wide path is surrounded by boulders and can be hiked in a relaxed manner. The good mountain air and an overwhelming view make for a lasting experience. The view of the glacier, the devilish Diablerets peak and the valleys deep below are breathtaking in their combination.

The hike along the approximately 1.5 km trail takes about an hour. From Dôme, a secured trail leads down to the Diableret glacier. If you take the route back to the mountain station, it is worth taking a short detour at Col de Prapio to the Rifugio Espace at the Quille du Diable. The glacier trail is marked with poles. Also the way back from there to the station Scex Rouge is marked. Both paths are therefore not to be missed even in poor visibility.

Peak Walk by Tissot at Glacier 3000

The Peak Walk is the path across a suspension bridge on Glacier 3000. This is the only suspension bridge in the world that connects two mountain peaks, at an altitude of more than 3000 meters. Depending on the weather, the bridge is accessible all year round.

The suspension bridge connects the pre-summit (View Point) with the main summit (Scex Rouge). The main summit is about 5 meters higher. The breathtaking view of the high mountains can be enjoyed both in summer and winter. The path is 107 meters long and eight meters wide. Because of the small difference in altitude, the bridge is almost flat. Among other things, the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc and the triumvirate of the Jungfrau massif can be seen from here. Entering the suspension bridge is free of charge.

Ice Cathedral

The ice grotto at Glacier 3000 is also called "the mill". It was formed naturally using the siphon principle and fills up again with water every spring and summer. As soon as the plug loosens in autumn, the water flows out and the grotto can be entered, but only at your own risk. It is about twenty meters long and as the lights reflect on the ice walls, images are created and a special effect that is worth seeing.

The ice cathedral can be reached in about 15 minutes on foot from the valley station of the chairlift ICE Express. The path leads along the Glacier Walk in the direction of the entry station of the Dôme ski lift. The path to the grotto is secured, but inside the cave the ground is very slippery and slippery. In winter, snow may accumulate in front of the entrance, blocking access. Access is possible exclusively in autumn/winter.

Mountain railroads and lifts to the Glacier3000

The ten lifts are:

• 3 aerial cableways
• 3 chairlifts
• 4 ski tows

With the aerial tramway up the Scex Rouge

Glacier3000 has been gradually created since the 1960s. The idea of connecting the Col du Pillon with the Tsanfleuron glacier dates back to 1959. The aerial tramway travels from the Col du Pillon valley station as a 125-cabin cable car to the Scex Rouge summit station, covering 1,400 meters in altitude. For the total distance, the cable car needs 15 minutes at a speed of 10 meters per second in the first part and 9 meters per second in the second part.

• Aerial cableway Col du Pillon (1,552m) - Cabane (2,531m)
• Aerial cableway Cabane (2.531m) - Scex Rouge (2.948m)

The first section is 1960 meters long and climbs 979 vertical meters. The second section reaches 417 meters of altitude over 1,661 meters of travel.

Another cable car has a capacity of 40 passengers per cabin and runs for 1,619 meters between Reusch and Oldenegg over 569 meters of altitude.

• Cable car Reusch (1.360m) - Oldenegg (1.929m) The cable cars do not only bring the guests to the top in winter. In summer the cable cars also run daily, but at the beginning of the season sometimes only on weekends.

Swiss Activities offer:

• Glacier 3000 ticket with glacier hike

With the ICE Express chairlift to the glacier

The ICE Express chairlift takes you to Glacier 3000. It starts at Scex Rouge. A total of three chairlifts operate on Glacier3000:

• Glacier chairlift (2,800) - Scex Rouge (2910m) The 4-seater chairlift (fixed-grip) takes guests from the top station of the Scex Rouge aerial cableway to the glacier in summer and winter. Over a length of 373 meters, it descends 110 meters in altitude. At 2m/sec. Speed, it takes 3.5 minutes and can carry a total of up to 1200 people per hour.

• Chairlift Oldenegg (1924m) - Cabane (2528m) The chairlift Oldenegg to Cabane connects the cable cars of Reusch and Col du Pillon at the top station Cabane and also extends the chairlift coming from Oldenalp. It is a 4-seater high-speed chairlift with covers, which can be coupled. With a speed of five meters per second, it takes 8.5 minutes for 2327 meters of length.

• Chairlift Oldenalp (1844 m) - Oldenegg (1927m) The 4-seater high-speed chairlift is detachable and takes about 2.4 minutes at 5m/sec for 742 meters of length between Oldenalp and Oldenegg.

Winter activities at Glacier 3000:

• Skiing and snowboarding
• Sledding and cross-country skiing
• Dog sledding
• riding the Snow Bus across the glacier
• Hiking on foot or with snowshoes

Summer activities at Glacier 3000:

• Climbing and via ferrata
• Alpine Coaster
• Sledding and cross-country skiing
• Dog sledding
• Hikes on foot
• Glacier flight
• Paragliding

Skiing and snowboarding on Glacier 3000

Skiing and snowboarding on Glacier3000 can be reached by cable car in two stages from Col du Pillon. The pass road is open all year round. The cable car goes to the top station. Freeride skiing is possible on the glacier. Between 3,000 and 1,300 meters above sea level, the high alpine area is snow-sure between November and May and offers a variety of possibilities. When freeriding, you only follow your own track and enjoy the glacier scenery.

Freeride routes on the Glacier 3000

• Mountain peak Dôme (3016 m a.s.l.) - Les Diablerets village (1200 m a.s.l.)
• Pierre Pointe near Restaurant Botta (2971 m a.s.l.) - Col du Pillon valley station (1546 m a.s.l.)
• Various downhill runs in the Martisberg area (2525 m a.s.l.)
• Nägelikelle (2400 m above sea level) - Oldenalp (1840 m above sea level)
• Two variants for descent Oldenegg (1919 m a.s.l.) - Reusch (1350 m a.s.l.) Chrotti and Büdemli

The accompaniment of a local mountain guide is recommended for all freeride tours. A freeride map for the Glacier 3000 is available for purchase.

The best way to start freeriding is via the mountain station. The lift first takes you to the third floor and from there out onto a metal bridge. At the end of the metal bridge, you climb over the railing (Official Freerider Downhill) and mount your skis on the safe plateau. Two T-bar lifts take skiers up the Dôme. Another tow lift leads to the neighboring peak Quille du Diable and a fourth is located above the parking lot Reusch.

Overview of ski lifts (T-bar lifts):

• Dôme (3016 m a.s.l.)
• Quille du Diable (2908 m above sea level)
• Tsanfleuron (3016 m above sea level)
• Reusch (1350 m a.s.l.)

Freeridedays:

The freeridedays.ch are held regularly on two days in April on the Glacier3000. Freeriders then have the opportunity to discover the freeride world in complete safety accompanied by professionals. This applies regardless of whether they are beginners or advanced. The freeride terrain here allows you to leave 2,000 meters of altitude behind you very quickly. Steep slopes that require a lot of technique and sections of untouched powder snow make Glacier3000 one of the most popular freeride spots in the world.

Avalanche Training Center:

At the Avalanche Training Center, anyone interested can learn how to properly navigate freeride terrain for free. It is shown what to do if an avalanche really goes off. Under realistic conditions, everyone involved can learn how best to deal with an emergency. The avalanche training facility is located on an area of one hundred by one hundred meters in moderately steep terrain at the lower part of the Ice Express chairlift. The avalanche transceiver (LVS) offers five transmitters that are activated from the control center. They remain buried throughout the winter. Shovel and probe must be brought by yourself.

Freeride providers in the region include, for example, the Alpine Center based in Gstaad.

A new descent over 8,000 meters is the Red Run Slope, which descends from 3,000 vertical meters to 1,300 vertical meters. It starts at the Scex Rouge mountain station. From here it passes under the Oldenhorn, continues below the Cabane middle station and connects with the already existing red Martisberg run.

The Olden Slope descends from Oldenhorn to Olpenalp and another piste leads from Oldenegg in wide sweeps down to Reusch. Both are black slopes.

These 6 blue slopes are in the upper range:

• Tsanfleuron
• Quille
• Dôme
• Dôme - Tsanfleuron
• Return Scex Rouge Scex Rouge - Dôme Les Diablerets has with the Snowpark Glacier3000 already in the pre-season months October and November a good possibility to prepare for the coming season. Also in the months of April and May, the snowpark is an ideal training spot from beginner to pro rider.

The three runs Transfleuron, Dôme and Retour Scex Rouge have boxes, rails and tables. The giant jump Big Mama is suitable for snowboarders and skiers.

Sledding and cross-country skiing on the Glacier 3000, even in summer

Due to the certainty of snow on the glacier of Glacier3000, sledding and cross-country skiing are also possible in summer under good conditions.

Sledding at Glacier 3000

Those who don't like skiing will find good sledging possibilities in the fun park. Sledding at Glacier3000 is possible in the Funpark all year round. It is open every day, weather conditions permitting. Especially for smaller children the ride on a plastic plate is a special fun. The Fun Park is located in the lower part of the Ice Express chairlift and has safe snow conditions on the glacier. The Fun Park can be used free of charge.

Cross-country skiing at Glacier 3000

The glacier at Glacier 3000 makes it possible to do cross-country skiing also in summer.

Cross-country skiing and skating is possible on seven kilometers of trails that use almost the entire surface of the glacier Glacier de Tsanfleuron. The trails are groomed from April to October. Several professionals from the cross-country skiing and biathlon scene also take advantage of the ideal training opportunities amidst the fascinating panorama. The cross-country skiing track on the glacier is open until December if the snow conditions are good. The altitude of the cross-country ski trail network ranges between 2800 and 2840 m above sea level.

Experience the Glacier 3000 by dog sled or snowbus

The glacier area of Glacier 3000 stretches for three kilometers in length and one and a half kilometers in width, sloping eastward to about 2,500 meters. Group bookings for the Snowbus or a dog sled ride must be made in advance by email.

Driving over the glacier with a dog sled

The dog sled is pulled by huskies. A whole pack shows that it is at home in the snow. This way visitors are driven over the glacier in an original and romantic way. A ride on a dog sled is extraordinary and remains in the memory. The rides are offered by swiss mushing all year round.

In the period from November to March, the dog sleds are always at the glacier on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm, weather permitting. The weather can be checked on the website in the morning.

It is possible to book a sled for up to 7 people for 30 minutes ride over the glacier.

Ride over the glacier with the Snowbus

The Snowbus of Glacier 3000 offers space for up to 20 people and drives like a snowcat over the crunching snow. With it you can explore the glacier area without having to move yourself.

Hikes on the Glacier 3000

Glacier 3000 is a popular hiking area. As soon as they get off the cable car, visitors are amazed by a wonderful panorama. The view easily reaches as far as the Jura. There are a total of 75 km of signposted mountain hiking trails. Besides easy hiking routes, there are also challenging alpine tours.

Mountain hike on the Glacier Walk to the Devil's Rock

From the Sex Rouge mountain station, an easy glacier walk runs high above the Col du Pillon pass road on the Glacier 3000 to the legendary Devil's Rock. The cable car leads up from the valley station at Col du Pillon.

The trail starts at 2929 m above sea level at the top station of the Sex Rouge and can be shortened considerably with the ICE Express chairlift. The use is free of charge. For the descent via the ski slope, hiking poles and a light vest are important.

The leisurely mountain hike (T2) is signposted as Glacier Walk from the glacier station of the chairlift. For the most part, it leads along a cross-country ski trail. Passing the Oldenhorn, the path goes over the Glacier de Tsanfleuron to the cantonal border into Valais. During the hike you can see the Bernese and Valais Alps. The trail ends at the striking obelisk Tour St-Martin / Quille du Diable.

Right next to it is the Refuge l'Espace at 2598 m above sea level with a large panoramic terrace. At this place, with a little luck, bearded vultures are observed. They live below the terrace in the Derborance valley. This mountain hike does not need any special preparation and does not require any special equipment. The way back is the same way.

Difficult mountain hike on Glacier 3000 from the valley station in Reusch to the Oldenhorn

This demanding mountain hike starts below the Glacier 3000 at the valley station of the cable car Reusch at about 1343 m above sea level and ends at 3074 m above sea level below the top of the Oldenhorn. The best time for this mountain tour is the summer from July to October at the latest. For this trip with 1740 meters of ascent over a length of 8.5 km a very good physical condition is needed.

The path through the Olden valley, which climbs slowly at first, leads along waterfalls and a spruce forest. From Oldenalp the Oldensattel begins. The Tsanfleuron glacier is already in the immediate vicinity and remains in sight during the further ascent. Arrived at the Oldenhorn, a view of 24 four-thousand-meter peaks of the neighboring alpine chain can be enjoyed.

In the Reusch, free parking is available on a large parking lot on the pass road between Gstaad and Les Diablerets.

Demanding mountain tour from Col du Pillon via Cabane SAC to Scex Rouge

This mountain hike starts near the valley station at Col de Pillon at 1540 m above sea level. Via very winding paths the tour leads to the SAC hut. The Cabane des Diablerets hut is located at 2500 m above sea level.

The further ascent is very steep and one passage goes directly over the glacier until Scex Rouge is reached at 2940 m above sea level. The ascent takes about 4.5 hours, a descent 2.5 hours.

Climbing and via ferratas at Glacier 3000

Glacier 3000 offers no less than three challenging via ferratas, which can be climbed between June and September/October. Further information from the Diablerets tourist office is available on the via ferratas around the Devil's Rocks. It is the Via Ferratas:

• des Dames Anglaises (K2), the
• Cascade du D'ar (K5) and the
• Tête au Chamois or Rocher Jaune (K5)

Via Ferrata des Dames Anglaises

The Via Ferrata des Dames Anglaises is rocky and alpine. For the via ferrata, absolute surefootedness and a head for heights are indispensable. There are also challenging passages on the way to and from the via ferrata. You need a complete via ferrata equipment as well as helmet and via ferrata gloves. In addition, an ice axe and crampons are needed for the traverse. The former via ferrata had to be relocated due to the recession of the glacier.

The edge crevasse under the Col de Prapio had become a danger. The way back is either in reverse back to the Refuge de Pierredar or by cable car Glacier3000 to the Col du Pillon. The three rocks got their name because their shape reminds of women with long dresses. A stop is recommended at the Refuge de Pierredar. From here you have a beautiful view of the glacier Glacier de Prapio.

Via Ferrata Cascade du D'ar (K5)

This via ferrata Cascade du D'ar faces northwest and scores with the greenery and waters of the Diablerets massif. From the Col du Pillon, the via is reached in about ten to fifteen minutes. This via ferrata is classified as extremely difficult and requires extreme surefootedness. Some places can be extremely slippery and for people of smaller stature, the via ferrata is particularly difficult to master. However, the most difficult part can be bypassed to the left at the beginning.

Via Ferrata du Rocher Jaune (K5)

This fixed rope route goes over a large and beautiful 300 meter high yellow rock face. The via ferrata is therefore also known as the Yellow Rocher. It faces north and offers views from the Alps to over the blue lakes. This via ferrata contains many extremely difficult passages

From Col du Pillon, the via can be reached on foot, but it is easier to take the cable car to Glacier 3000 to the middle station. From here it is another ten minutes on foot. This route contains particularly exposed sections and overhanging ladders. The site around the Cabane additionally offers several climbing routes, ranging from 5 to 250 meters in length. All of them are located near the Cabane des Diablerets.

Alpine Coaster at Glacier3000

The summer toboggan run operates daily at Glacier 3000 from May to September. The operating times are based on the opening times of the Col du Pillon - Scex Rouge aerial cableways.

The toboggan run is the highest in the world and starts near the Scex Rouge mountain station. It is a spectacular glacier ride that is one thousand meters long and has a 520° loop, six waves, three jumps and ten curves, some of which are steep.

The speed here can reach up to 40 km/h. Tobogganers experience almost weightlessness on the track, which hovers up to six meters above the ground, and enjoy not only the great view but also the fresh mountain air. You can reduce the speed yourself by means of a brake pedal.

In case of bad weather conditions like big snowfall or strong wind, the Alpine Coaster will be closed.

Glacier flight and paragliding at Glacier 3000

Glacier3000 is the destination for glacier flights. Small planes and helicopters are allowed to land on the glacier. Conversely, paragliding flights from Glacier 3000 are offered as tandem flights.
