The Vaud Riviera is easily accessible and inspires a sense of adventure even before you arrive. By train, the main lines provide direct connections to the region from Lausanne, Geneva or the Valais, with stops at Vevey, Montreux and La Tour-de-Peilz. The journey along Lake Geneva offers stunning views of vineyards, mountains and sun-drenched shores.
For an even more spectacular arrival, the boats of the Compagnie générale de navigation sur le lac Léman allow you to reach the Riviera from various lakeside towns. Cruising on Lake Geneva means discovering the region from a different perspective, at the rhythm of the water and with the Alps as your backdrop.
