Lavaux, Switzerland
The Lavaux region of Switzerland is located between Lausanne and Montreux, where terraced vineyards, winding roads, tiny villages, distelleries and chateaus overlook the Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) from high above. While train service is frequent between Lausanne and Montreux, it is nearly impossible to see the Lavaux from the train. This trip was done by bicycle and foot, through 45 km of road in one day from the Lausanne train station to the Chateau de Chilon. Mont-Pelerin was reached by funicular from Vevey and Rochers-de-Naye was reached using the cogwheel train from Montreux, and many other mountain excursions are possible. The Lavaux region was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage in July 2007.
