TOUR IN BRIEF
The Swiss Riviera spreads across Lake Geneva between the towns of Lausanne, Lavaux, Vevey and Montreux. The drive along the shore of Lake Geneva is superb, passing vineyards with an abundance of beautiful views of the lake and the peaks of the eternally snow-capped Savoy Alps. You will spend the second part of the trip on the French side of Lake Geneva and the Savoy Alps. Drink from the Evian source and be enchanted by the town of Annecy, known as the “Venice of France”. You will enjoy a magnificent summer holiday, without ever missing the sea.
DAY-BY-DAY PROGRAMME
After arrival, an airport transfer to your hotel. You can make use of the free afternoon to visit the town – we will give you a few tips. In the early evening, you will meet your trip advisor, who will go through the itinerary for your trip and hand over a programmed satnav and route book.

YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO: UNESCO area of Lavaux, visits to the towns of Vevey and Montreaux | visit to Chillon water castle | Lausanne
We will deliver the car of your choice in the morning. After signing the handover record, you will be ready to start out. First you will drive through the picturesque wine-growing region of Lavaux, which is listed as UNESCO world cultural heritage. You will see Lavaux from your car, and on a short walk to several recommended places, then continue to the town of Vevey. The writer Dostoevsky set the events of one of his books in Vevey, and Charlie Chaplin spent part of his life here.
After exploring the historical centre and port, you will continue along the shore to Montreaux, then take a walk along the town’s long promenade and enjoy refreshments at a restaurant along the way. You will continue to Château Chillon, an iconic castle which seems to swim in Lake Geneva.
After a day filled with experiences, you will arrive at Lausanne to spend the night.

YOU WILL SEE: Olympic Museum in Lausanne | Yvoire | Évian-les-Bains
Before continuing, we recommend you stop at the Olympic Museum, which is right on the promenade in Lausanne.

You will continue across the border to France, where you will stop in the small, beautiful town of Yvoire. You will spend about an hour there. After walking around the town, it is just a short way to your destination for the day, the small town of Evian. Before you check in to your hotel, stop in the centre and take a drink from the local fountain.
