Lake Geneva region

Rivaz

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.

“Fantastic! Cave’s are stunning as well as the forest walks”

Lisa

on Ticket for Vallorbe Caves

“It was a stunning castle and we easily spent a couple hours there.”

Sonya

on Ticket Chateau Chillon in Montreux

“Great weather, beautiful hike”

Bethli

on Wine hike in Salgesch

“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.”

Laurent

on Ticket Chaplin's World

“Discovering the city through these questions.”

Luis Manuel

on Montreux interactive scavenger hunt with the smartphone

“Diverse, flexible and always entertaining.”
