Finally, you reach one of the most famous highlights of the tour: the stunning Chillon moated castle. The "Jewel of Lake Geneva" has been enthroned on the rocky island in front of the beautiful mountain scenery for more than 1000 years and is considered a visitor magnet of Western Switzerland.

While paddling along the shore, you can review the impressions so far or simply let your soul "ripple" to the rhythm of the paddle until the French border is in sight. Not far from there is the historic village of "St. Gingolph".
