Veytaux

Few places in Vaud have a history as closely tied to the strategic control of Lake Geneva’s eastern shore as Veytaux. On the lakeside stands Chillon Castle, a fortress on a rocky island held by the House of Savoy from the 12th century until 1536. Its walls, towers and waterside position have made it one of Switzerland’s best-known medieval monuments. Veytaux lies between the lake and the steep lower slopes of the Alps, beside the Montreux Riviera and the transport corridor around Lake Geneva’s upper end.
