Surrounded by vineyards and the foothills of the Alps, this delightful town is the starting point for numerous excursions, whether by train, boat or on foot. Enjoy the flowers on the fifteen kilometre lakeside trail or follow the marked trail guiding you to Ernest Hemmingway's favourite haunts. Why not pick up a passport for ten museums along the Riviera, or take in a film or music festival? The town also has fascinating markets and an exciting summer activity programme.

A new addition to the town's charms is the "Train des Vignes" which runs from Vevey to Chexbres-Puidoux, from where you can take a panoramic lift to the heights of Mont-Pèlerin. The train takes visitors through the unique vineyards and picturesque villages of the Lavaux region. On offer are wine-cellar visits, wine appreciation seminars, guided wine walking tours, mountain-biking, tennis and squash. The region also boasts a fascinating watch museum and top-quality cuisine and hotels. Let yourself be charmed by one of Switzerland's loveliest places!
