Your Experience

At the Montreux pier, board a historic paddle steamer boat for a serene cruise along Lake Geneva. As you channel through the clear waters, make sure to gaze out into the horizon and catch glimpses of the mountains and surrounding Alps in the process. You'll be on your way to Switzerland's most visited historical monument, Chillon Castle. You may choose to deboard here and explore the castle at your own pace (entry into the castle is not included in this ticket).

With various boat departures through the day, you can jump back onto the boat when you're done exploring the castle, and continue your way back to the Montreux pier. Along the way, you'll pass by the charming towns of Villeneuve, Le Bouveret, and St Gingolph. You'll sail by the town of Vevey, with views of the famous Lavaux vineyards in your sight. All the while, you're being enveloped by the spectacular scenery of the French and Swiss Alps, a sight that cannot be described in words.
