Montreux Transfer & 3 Day Excursion

Thurs. June 10, 2027

HOTEL NOT INCLUDED
Zurich → Interlaken → Montreux

With the main conference in Zürich concluding on Wednesday, our itinerary transitions across Switzerland toward Montreux ahead of Friday's 1-Day Wellness & Business Conference Add-On. Global Radiology CME takes care of every detail, turning this journey into a spectacular, stress-free route through the Alps. We’ll manage all the logistics and transfer your luggage directly from the Zürich Marriott Hotel to the historic Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic in Montreux—leaving you completely free to sit back, relax, and take in the sweeping mountain views.

Morning: Alpine Ascent to Harder Kulm

Our journey heads south toward Interlaken, the heart of the Bernese Oberland nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Bribery. Upon arrival, step aboard the historic funicular railway for a swift, scenic ride up to Harder Kulm, Interlaken’s iconic viewpoint. Suspended 1,322 meters above sea level, the Two Lakes Bridge platform offers dramatic, uninterrupted views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks.

Midday: Gourmet Lunch at Panorama Restaurant

At the summit, enjoy an exclusive Swiss lunch at the Panorama Restaurant Harder Kulm. Featuring castle-like architecture and an expansive sun terrace, this striking dining venue serves up exquisite local specialties paired with unforgettable, panoramic views of the surrounding glaciers and turquoise lakes below.

Afternoon: Scenic Coach Ride to Montreux

After descending back to Interlaken, board the coach for one of Europe's most beautiful alpine journeys. Drive effortlessly past emerald pastures, wooden chalets, and dramatic Alpine passes before descending into the vineyard-covered hills of Lake Geneva, known as Lac Leman to the local residents. Upon arrival in Montreux, check in to the lakeside Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic, where your room and luggage await—completely stress-free.

Evening: Welcome to Montreux

After freshening up in your room, join us on the terrace for wine and Appetizers as we take in the breathtaking alpine views and the sunset on Lake Geneva.

Friday Afternoon & Evening: Montreux & Château de Chillon

Begin your weekend exploring the charm of Montreux. Stroll the flower-lined lakeside promenade to discover its rich musical heritage, including the iconic Freddie Mercury Statue and the recording history that shaped Queen's legacy. Next, journey just along the shore to step inside the legendary Château de Chillon, Switzerland’s famed 12th-century island fortress. Explore its medieval halls and subterranean vaults with scenic views over Lake Geneva before enjoying a relaxing, free evening in Montreux.

Saturday offers a full day of spectacular views and culinary traditions across the Swiss Riviera:

• Chaplin’s World: This immersive museum in Corsier-sur-Vevey celebrates the life and work of Charlie Chaplin. A private guided tour takes guests through the historic Manoir de Ban, Chaplin’s home for the final 25 years of his life, and the Hollywood-style Studio featuring sets inspired by his most iconic films. 

• Morning in Lavaux: Ascend into the stunning UNESCO World Heritage Lavaux Vineyard Terraces. Take a private guided stroll through the dramatic steep-sloped vineyards, culminating in an exclusive tasting of fine local vintages overlooking Lake Geneva.

• Midday Dining: Sit down for a memorable lunch at Restaurant Tout un Monde in Grandvaux, famous for its regional dishes and glass dining room overlooking the water and surrounding Alps.

• Afternoon in Gruyères: Travel into the Pre-Alps to the medieval, traffic-free village of Gruyères. Wander the 800-year-old cobblestone streets up to the historic castle walls, taking time to browse artisan shops along the main square.

• Evening Celebration: Conclude the day at Restaurant Gruyère Traditions with a traditional Swiss dinner. To mark the occasion, enjoy a private 30-minute folklore performance featuring traditional Alphorn players and Swiss flag throwers before returning to Montreux.

Global Radiology CME Tip: If you’re ending your trip after this excursion, consider flying home from Geneva Airport (GVA). Its proximity to Montreux may make it more convenient than flying from Zurich and may also offer more competitive fares.
