Glacier 3000
A high-Alpine playground above Les Diablerets: a peak-to-peak suspension bridge, glacier skiing, husky sledding, and views to the Matterhorn.
Glacier 3000 is where the Bernese Alps stop being scenery and start being an itinerary. Reached from above Les Diablerets, the site sits where the names on the map (Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, Jungfrau) line up on the horizon all at once, close enough to feel like company.
Its signature is the Peak Walk, the suspension bridge linking two summits, View Point and Scex Rouge. It is, as far as anyone can tell, the only bridge in the world to connect two peaks, and crossing it rearranges your sense of scale in a way photographs never quite manage. The drop falls away on both sides; the view holds steady.
The rest of the mountain is built for people who don’t sit still. Skiing and snowboarding run on glacier snow that lingers well past the conventional season. Husky sledding adds a slower, more elemental kind of thrill: a team of dogs, a track of fresh powder, the quiet of altitude. And for the genuinely undeterred, there’s a helicopter flight over the glacier itself.
It is, in short, an adrenaline-seeker’s dream, but it works just as well for travellers who want one big Alpine day without committing to a week on the slopes. Wrap up well, time your visit for clear skies, and let the bridge do what it does best: make a famous skyline feel suddenly, vertiginously within reach.
