The Territet–Glion funicular railway is a funicular in Switzerland, which runs between the Territet and Glion suburbs of the town of Montreux. At its upper terminus, the funicular connects with what was the lower terminus of the Chemin de fer Glion-Rochers-de-Naye mountain railway, which opened in 1892. This later line was joined, in 1909, in an end on junction at Glion with the newly constructed Chemin de fer Montreux-Glion .
The line was opened in 1883, making it one of the oldest funiculars in Switzerland . It was built to 1,000 mm metre gauge with two separate and adjacent tracks which spread apart to allow passing at the halfway point. The stations had two side platforms.
