A drone flight to capture the cogwheel train from Montreux to Rochers de Naye
Hop aboard the scenic cogwheel railway from Montreux to Rochers-de-Naye, captured in this breathtaking drone video filmed on a perfectly sunny day. As the train winds its way up the steep alpine tracks, you'll see it climbing through a winter wonderland of snow - something I wasn’t quite dressed for! The contrast between the spring warmth in Montreux and the snowy summit is striking, and a good reminder that mountain weather doesn’t read the forecast for the valley below.

From the skies, you'll spot the shimmering waters of Lake Geneva far below, framed by snow-covered peaks stretching across the horizon. At 2,042 meters above sea level, Rochers-de-Naye offers one of the most iconic panoramic views in Switzerland - and if you look closely, you might even spot the start of the Alps heading off into France. The railway itself has been chugging tourists and hikers up the mountain since 1892. That’s over 130 years of making people say “wow” - and probably also “brrr.”

A fun fact: Marmots live up here too, though in winter they’re snuggled in their burrows binge-hibernating. And here’s a tip from someone who learned it the chilly way - always bring layers when heading to the mountains, no matter how warm it feels in town. As they say in Switzerland: dress like an onion. Layers are key, and occasionally they’ll make you cry.
