My name is Anna Pilkevich, and I am a local private guide based on the Swiss Riviera. With a background in sociology and marketing from Belarus, my guiding career began in Madrid before I made Switzerland my home. Today, I organize and lead customized walking, food, and wine tours through Lausanne, Geneva, Montreux, Gruyères, and Lavaux, as well as guided excursions into the Swiss Alps, including stunning destinations like Interlaken and Zermatt. To me, a great tour feels like exploring a new place with a knowledgeable friend—spontaneous, engaging, and rich in local flavor. Whether you want to dive into Swiss watchmaking history, sample regional wines, or head into the mountains to take in the views, I’m happy to tailor a route just for you.

But I can accompany you in your vehicle or arrange a car with a driver.

Journey into the heart of the Gruyères region to discover the traditions of mountain cheesemaking, combined with scenic mountain ascents and family adventure
Overview of your Montreux tour
This full-day alpine experience offers a perfect blend of Swiss culture, gastronomy, and mountain adventure centered around a historic 17th-century Swiss chalet clode to the famouse Gruyeres village. Dive into regional traditions, featuring an authentic cheesemaking demo over an open wood fire. This is paired with a cheese tasting of local varieties and a traditional Swiss chalet lunch. The experience can be customized with scenic and active upgrades. Options include riding a modern funicular to a 2,000-meter mountain summit for panoramic views overlooking the Lake Geneva region, the Jura mountains, and the Mont Blanc massif. For those seeking a bit of excitement, a family-friendly alpine toboggan run (bob-luge) is also available, offering a thrilling descent through the crisp mountain air for all ages.
Your Montreux tour itinerary
1. We meet directly at your accommodation in Lausanne, Vevey, or Montreux to begin our scenic journey into the Gruyère region. 2. We arrive at a traditional mountain chalet near Gruyères for an authentic wood-fired cheesemaking demonstration and tasting. 3. Optional: Enjoy a traditional local lunch (like authentic fondue or chalet macaroni) at the restaurant in the same historic chalet. 4. We take the funicular railway, and then catch the aerial cableway to reach the magnificent summit of Le Moléson at 2,002 meters (approx 6,560 feet). 5. Back down at the village resort, both kids and adults can enjoy the thrill of the summer bobsled/toboggan run (bob-luge). 6. If time allows before heading back, we will take a charming detour to explore the historic, car-free medieval village of Gruyères. 7. We return you safely back to your accommodation at the end of a wonderful day.

Transport details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Minivan
Because the traditional alpine cheese dairy is tucked away in the mountains, it is not easily accessible by public transport. This journey is best enjoyed with a private vehicle. If needed, I would be delighted to assist you in arranging premium private transport for your day tour.
