Puidoux is located northeast of Lake Geneva near Lausanne in a wide valley basin of the Vaud Plateau. The village is known for its wine growing on the slopes of the UNESCO World Heritage Lavaux. Puidoux is suitable for long walks through the wine-growing areas and along Lake Geneva. The Mont de Gourze (924 m a.s.l.) borders the valley basin of Puidoux in the west, the Mont Pèlerin (1080 m a.s.l.) in the east. Mont Pèlerin is accessed by a funicular railroad. From the television tower standing on the summit, a magnificent view of the panorama of Lake Geneva and the Alps can be seen. (Photo Puidoux-Lavaux: Switzerland Tourism)
“The castle was much bigger inside than expected, with amazing history and stunning artefacts. It was a great time of year to visit, not too crowded, and the whole experience was interesting. Walking where people walked hundreds of years ago felt humbling.”
“What a great museum. Full of so much history. The medals, the torches, the sports kit. Soooo cool”
“Great weather, beautiful hike”
“Great. We thought we would spend 1.5 to 2 hours with my 4-year-old daughter, but we ended up staying all afternoon.”
“Really great visit, well organized and interesting.”
“An immersive exhibition that touches the soul. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, staying true to Chaplin's humanism. You feel connected to his world from the moment the film starts at the cinema, before gradually exploring each theme of his vast body of work. A body of work that rises above human foolishness through laughter, poetry, beauty, dreams, and unconditional love. Universal.”
