Opposites are fascinating. And no two worlds could contrast more than those at the beginning and the end of the thrilling train ride from lively, sophisticated Montreux to the austere summit of Rochers-de-Naye. The hike begins at the intermediate stop in Les Cases, 1111 meters above sea level.
This outpost of the Waadtland Alps is famous for its view of the crescent of Lake Geneva curving into the hazy distance, the Wallis and Savoy Alps and the Jura. A stroll through the Alpine garden "Rambertia" is recommended after the ascent. The garden's 1,000 Alpine plants are not only culled from the European Alps, but from mountainous regions around the world. In June, though, one flower reigns supreme: the narcissus that grows in the wild on Rochers-de-Naye.
