“We know Fribourg a bit, but between the Sarine river, the old town, and the mountains, it was great weather-wise.”
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.

“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.”
“A beautiful place. Friendly staff. Thanks for preserving the history.”
“We experienced very attentive, friendly, and approachable staff on the cable car and in the restaurant. We are extremely grateful for that and would be proud of Switzerland if this were the standard. The two days in Mürren with Schilthorn were more than worth the money in every way.”
“A delightful visit for the taste buds. The interactive route was very engaging. Definitely worth recommending.”
