Montreux–Glion–Rochers-de-Naye railway line

The pick for anyone based on Lake Geneva rather than in the Bernese Oberland. The rack line climbs straight out of Montreux, past Glion, to the Rochers de Naye at about 1,970 meters, with views over Lake Geneva and across to the French Alps. Its strengths are convenience and a year-round timetable: you can ride it from a lakeside hotel without a long transfer, and it runs throughout the year, which several seasonal lines here do not. It is not the Jungfrau, and does not pretend to be, but on a clear day the drop to the lake is one of the most striking views in western Switzerland.
