Park Place
in front of the house.
The region offers many possibilities for all kinds of holidaymakers:
- Walks in the terraces of the nearby vineyards and in Lavaux in front of our door: UNESCO World Heritage since 2007.
- The famous Château de Chillon is 7 km from our house.
- In Corsier-sur-Vevey it is absolutely necessary to visit ‘Chaplin’s World’ (4 km from our house). This recently opened museum shows all the facets of this famous artist, his life and how he was not understood by the political world, which is why he lived for many years until his death in this corner. It’s not a ‘dust’ museum, but there are many reconstructions of film studios.
- A little further you can visit the saltworks of Bex (caves - see attached image).
- At the mouth of the Rhône, at Bouveret there is the Swiss Vapeur Parc with numerous model trains large enough to sit on and do the tours through the park.
- Even next to the Swiss Vapeur Parc you can have fun in the Aquaparc.
- 35 km from approx. from our house you can visit Gruyère with its castle and museum (the exhibition of figures from the film ‘Alien’ created by H. R. Gyger); the demonstration cheese dairy where they make the original Gruyère AOC cheeses; the Nestlé chocolate factory in Orbe.
- The region offers activities for everyone, i.e. short and long hikes, through the vineyards or on the heights, at the edge of Lake Geneva or in nature reserves.
For sunny days we highly recommend a cruise on one of the restored 'Belle Epoque' boats, all of which are 100 years old and over. The view of the vineyard terraces from Lake Geneva will remain unforgettable.
Let's not forget the cultural events of the region:
- The Montreux Jazz Festival - every year from the end of June to mid-July
- Musical September Vevey-Montreux for lovers of classical music with world famous performers.
- The big Christmas market in Montreux - from the end of November until December 24.
