Veytaux

Veytaux is a small commune in the canton of Vaud and is located on the charming Vaud Riviera. The village is located between the eastern shore of Lake Geneva and the Vaud Alps. The unique location and the beautiful view over the Riviera and the lake make a visit worthwhile. But the location of Veytaux promises even more. The village is located only eight km southeast of the famous town of Vevey. With palm tree adorned lakeside promenades and a Mediterranean flair, the village is a very popular destination. The surrounding region offers beautiful hikes through vineyards and is considered a cyclist's paradise. The popular Chillon Castle is located on its territory.
