Boat trip ticket from Lausanne to Chillon Castle and back

This 3-hour boat cruise takes you past the stunning vineyards of Lavaux, the Alpine peaks in the canton of Vaud, and the Hochsavoyen region. At the end of the journey, you'll also visit the historic Chillon Castle. The cruise departs from Lausanne-Ouchy aboard the paddle steamship Belle Époque. Along the way, you'll pass the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Lavaux vineyards. The view of the vineyards from the boat is truly unique.

Afterwards, you'll arrive at Chillon Castle. This famous castle is situated on an oval rocky island and was originally built as a control point for the route between northern and southern Europe. If you wish to take a break, you can alight here and catch the next boat back to Lausanne. Please check the current timetable for details.

During the boat trip, you have the option to enjoy a snack. For lunch, a reservation in advance is recommended.
