Rivaz is located on the northern part of Lake Geneva in the Lavaux wine region. The village is located about 5 km west of Vevey. The small community is situated on the steep slope of the vineyards on a promontory 70 m above the lake. The view of the lake is particularly beautiful here. The entire winegrowing village dates from the 17th to the 19th century. It is protected as part of Lavaux and has therefore been preserved in its original form. Popular hiking trails through the vineyards begin at the village. These include a circular route to Chexbres. Next to the Forestay waterfall, more than 300 Lavaux wines can be tasted at Vinorama. Below the village is a landing stage of the shipping company CGN SA for the line Lausanne - Vevey.
“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.”
