Lake Geneva / Vaud

This short trip starts in Montreux with an overnight stay in the hotel category of your choice. On the second day, you travel with the GoldenPass Line from Montreux to Lucerne. The trip can also be booked with overnight accommodation in Lucerne or Interlaken.

Be inspired by the lake, mountains and vineyards of this fascinating and lively area of Switzerland. Discover a picturesque region which blends charming locales and tranquil landscapes with stunning vistas of Alpine peaks and the crystal-clear waters of Lake Geneva.

The western route of the Grand Tour of Switzerland takes you through the Romandie, the Valais and the Bernese Oberland. Experience the incredible diversity of Switzerland: lakes and mountain scenery, UNESCO World Heritage sites, medieval villages and routes to fall in love with.

The first highlight of this hiking trip is the dark Schwarzsee. Legend has it that it has its colour because a giant once washed his feet in it. At the beginning of your hiking tour, however, this body of water sparkles more like turquoise or deep blue. Continue through the wild Jaunbach Gorge to Gruyères, which is guarded by a many-towered castle. Then past alpine cheese dairies up to the Moléson and across lush green meadows to the winter sports resort of Les Paccots. A hike to the shores of Lake Geneva concludes this journey.

On parle français! In the Lower Valais and on Lake Geneva, Swiss clockwork ticks a little more leisurely. You can take it just as easy on this bike tour for connoisseurs. You will soon turn your back on the castles and palaces of Sion, but equally charming landscapes lie ahead. Pass the nature reserve Les Grangettes and the romantic Chillon Castle. Montreux is a poem, as is the ride through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lavaux. This bike tour is a pleasure from start to finish.

From the lake to the mountains and vineyards – Montreux is world-famous due to its position right in the heart of the Swiss Riviera on the shores of Lake Geneva. The atmosphere and the Mediterranean climate are perfect for relaxing, but historic castles, vibrant towns, cultural events, terraced vineyards and lovely countryside await to be explored.
