Step by Step
Cruise the calm waters of Lake Geneva on a 2-hour trip that takes you from Vevey to the quayside of Chillon next to the famous medieval castle. Along the way, you'll see the villages of Clarens, Montreux and Territet, nestled between the mountains and the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, a World Heritage Site.
The Belle Époque boat, with its polished wooden deck and panoramic windows, transports you to another era while enjoying an elegant and comfortable atmosphere. Onboard service includes toilets, herbal teas and soft drinks (available for purchase), and a small midday menu (by reservation) if you want a lunch with a view.
Upon arrival in Chillon, you will have free time to visit the castle - one of the best preserved medieval monuments in Switzerland - before boarding again for the return journey. The boarding point in Chillon is the same footbridge; simply wait for the next departure according to the published timetable.
The frequency of departures from Vevey allows for flexibility: hop on and off several times if you wish, or stay and explore Chillon and return on a later cruise. Check the timetable online to coordinate your day plan perfectly.
