Hotel Victoria Glion
Funicular-linked mountain views with breakfast included
About this hotel
Hotel Victoria Glion's position in Glion above Montreux, reached by funicular, trades the town's lakefront bustle for genuinely sweeping views of Lake Geneva and the snow-capped Alps from a quieter, more elevated vantage point. The open-air swimming pool gives families a rest-day option away from the crowds of a full Aquaparc visit, and personal service throughout the stay reflects the property's smaller, more attentive scale compared with the larger lakefront hotels down in Montreux. Dining here draws on ingredients the chef personally chooses from the market gardener, showing up at both breakfast and dinner as a genuine step above a standard hotel buffet. Free parking and included breakfast round out a practical package for families who drive to the hotel directly, while the funicular remains available for those who prefer not to use a car for every trip down into town.

Our take
Hotel Victoria Glion suits families who want genuine quiet, sweeping Alps and lake views, and a fully included package of breakfast, parking, and pool access away from central Montreux bustle. Families who want to walk everywhere without any funicular or drive should choose a hotel directly in the town centre instead.
- ✓Confirm your funicular or driving plan before booking, both options work here but each has a different daily rhythm.
- ✓Book breakfast time flexibility if you have an early Aquaparc departure, the market-gardener breakfast is worth the extra planning.
- ✓Use the open-air pool for a rest day between Aquaparc visits, a quieter alternative to a full water park day.

Why guests love itThe view from Glion genuinely stopped us in our tracks the first morning, snow-capped Alps and the whole lake spread out below in a way none of the lakefront hotels we considered could match. Breakfast sourced from the market gardener each morning gave our Aquaparc days a proper start, and having both free parking and the funicular option meant we could choose our routine depending on how tired everyone felt.
