We had a great visit. It was very organized and modern. we bought tickets online and then had to transfer the tickets at the ticket counter. The boat tour takes about 30 minutes and I really liked the guided tour in three languages. I recommend it.

This underground lake is a true hidden gem with crystal blue water, reflecting the objects beneath like a mirror. While you are drifting across the surface by boat, the tour guide will share useful information about the site in French, German, and English (He is a very knowledgeable and funny guy haha). The cave condition is still very good as well as the cleanliness of the water. The temperature inside stays at a constant 15°C so bring a light jacket, in case you feel cold. A 30-minute ride is totally worth it!

Enjoyed this experience. The lake was so clear. Guide did a good job of sharing information in multiple languages. It was a 15 min walk from the train station.

Interesting place for a thirty minute fun boat drive. Photos look nice because of the lighting and the guide was very good. Interesting tidbit as per the guide the temperature inside is always about 15 degrees centigrade throughout the year.

Well worth a visit. Good for families and those with children. Just one stop from Sion, and a short 15-20 minute walk from the station. Clear water, fascinating location. Fish in the water. Also available for hire for events, which must be quite something on the lake and underground. Short tour in the boat, well worth the short trip if visiting Sion.

Beautiful place. No swimming area but for stats: Watertemperature 10-12 degrees, roomtemperature 15 degrees. Enjoy!

“A Hidden Symphony Beneath the Earth” : We traveled from Basel for the 13:00 pm slot of the boat tour. Although the journey was longer than the boat tour itself, it was absolutely worth it. The St. Léonard Underground Lake is an unbelievable, fantastic wonder of nature—truly breathtaking and unique. The photos on the website look amazing—you might even think they’re Photoshopped or AI-generated, but they’re not. You have to visit to believe it’s real. There was nothing to dislike—from start to finish it was awesome. The tour guide was fantastic; he asked who spoke German, French, and English, and even though only four of us were English speakers, he still translated everything in all three languages. Kudos to his patience and for keeping the same enthusiasm throughout. Booking was smooth and very convenient—no issues at all. I would absolutely recommend this experience to friends (in fact, I already have!), and many are now looking forward to visiting it themselves. There’s also a small spot where you can order pizza and drinks. Nothing fancy, but perfect for satisfying quick hunger. Just when you come out, there’s also a souvenir shop with nice items to remember your visit. The caves are easy to reach, with clear signs, and accessible even by public transport. Just a short portion of the way is uphill, but it’s manageable. Overall, this is one of those rare places where nature leaves you speechless. A visit to St. Léonard Caves is not just a tour—it’s an experience you’ll carry with you long after you leave.

Impressive castle ruins on one of the hills in the old town area. Something of a walk from the station, quite a lot of it uphill, but doable. Impressive views from the top over the town and to the mountains around the town. Fun for families and those with children. Well worth spending a couple of hours. In the old town area of Sion. Worth seeing all the castles.

Was hosted by the charming and knowledgeable Cedric for the free guided tour. It is a must do and provides insights and access not usually open to the public. Would happily pay a ticket price for this 90 min experience. It's a fab venue to explore, just make sure you allow time for the ascent. Well worth it. Stories and Sion's history on display with views to match!

The castle is rather a ruin. You don’t get to see a lot once you enter. However, you get a fantastic view over Sion and the whole valley. I would recommend it. It takes about 20 minutes to get there. If summer, can be very hot as the climb is exposed to the sun. The entrance is free. However, if interested in the history, there is the possibility to do a guided tour.

Tourbillon Castle is a castle ruin located on the hill of the same name, northeast of Sion's old town. Tourbillon was built at the end of the 13th century by Bishop Boniface Challant. In 1788, the castle was destroyed by the great city fire. Archaeological excavations show that the hill was already inhabited in the 5th millennium BC. In the Middle Ages, it served as a watchtower during times of war. This is indicated by the remains of a keep. A document from around 1270 lists the names of people who were required to man the watchtower on the hill in times of war. The construction of the castle in its current dimensions was initiated by Bishop Boniface Challant in 1297. The building was intended to protect the city of Sion from the rebellious nobility under Peter IV of Turn. In 1373, Bishop Gitschard Tavel acquired the "Meier's Tower," located on the western slope of the hill, and made it his main residence. In the summer and during periods of impending danger, Tourbillon Castle served as his seat. From 1352 to 1361 and from 1384 to 1392, the Counts of Savoy occupied and administered the castle. In 1417, Tourbillon was finally conquered and partially destroyed by the Upper Valais during the Raron trade. Between 1440 and 1450, Bishop William III of Raron had the castle rebuilt on its original foundations and the castle chapel repainted. On May 24, 1788, a hurricane-like storm swept across the Rhône Valley. At 1:00 p.m., it sparked a fire that the firefighters were unable to extinguish. Within three hours, 226 buildings fell victim to the fire, including the episcopal castles of Majoria and Tourbillon. The complex is currently being restored and maintained by the Fondation du Château de Tourbillon. The castle ruins are open to the public from mid-March to mid-November.

The castle on its own is fantastic, and the views are incredible. But the experience is made much richer by doing the tour (by donation). Our tour with Cedric, was one of the best historical tours we've experienced. He provides a rich depth of information and access to the chapel and tower which were well worth it. Highly recommended!

Strongly recommend for the guided tour. So you can learn the whole history of the Sion and some special access that you can only visit with guide. Thank you very much Cédric!!🙏

Visiting Tourbillon Castle in Sion was truly a special experience. The castle stands on a high hill, and though the path up is somewhat steep, the views along the way are already remarkable. Reaching the top, I was rewarded with a breathtaking panorama that stretched over the town of Sion, the Rhône Valley, and the majestic Swiss Alps in the background—a beauty beyond words. Walking among the ancient stone walls and the remnants of the castle, I felt transported back in time, imagining the important role this place must have played in the medieval era. While Tourbillon Castle now stands as a ruin, its architectural beauty and the harmony it shares with the surrounding natural landscape give it a unique and almost mystical charm. There’s a romance to the place, enhanced by its weathered structures and the sense of history that fills the air. The castle offers a 360-degree view of the surroundings, and visiting in the late afternoon was especially magical. The setting sun cast a golden light over the mountains and the town, creating a scene that felt like a painting. In those quiet moments, I found myself reflecting on the lives of the people who once lived here and the history that this castle has witnessed—it was truly moving. If you ever have a chance to visit Sion, Tourbillon Castle is an absolute must-see.

St. Nicholas Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Nicolas) is an impressive Gothic cathedral and a symbol of the city of Fribourg in Switzerland. Its construction began in 1283 and was completed in the mid-15th century. It is especially famous for its bell tower, which stands 74 meters high. Inside, it features stunning stained glass windows, some of which were designed by the renowned artist Joseph Mehoffer. The cathedral is located in the heart of the historic city center and holds an important place in the cultural and religious life of the city.

A breathtaking spiritual and architectural experience. Visiting St-Nicolas Cathedral was one of the highlights of my time in Fribourg. The moment you step inside, you’re struck by the sheer beauty and grandeur of this incredible Gothic structure. The stained-glass windows are absolutely stunning — each one tells a story, with colors and details that catch the light in the most magical way. The play of sunlight through the glass fills the space with warmth and reverence. It’s a place that invites both quiet reflection and deep appreciation for art and craftsmanship. The organ is magnificent, and although I didn’t catch a live performance, I can only imagine how powerful it must sound echoing through the cathedral’s vast interior. Whether you’re religious or simply interested in history and architecture, this cathedral is a must-visit. There’s a sense of calm and sacredness that fills the air, and you can really feel the soul of Fribourg in this space. I highly recommend climbing the bell tower (if it’s open when you visit) — the panoramic views over the old town and surrounding countryside are unforgettable. A true treasure of Fribourg. Don’t miss it.

Beautiful church with peaceful pipe organ music, I especially love the stained glass windows. Going up the church for panoramic view: It's worth taking 365 steps of stairs up. Ticket price is Chf5 and available for purchase at tourist counter No.8 No wheel chair access. is at the tourist point No.8

A beautiful Roman Catholic cathedral built in the Gothic style, with many amazing Art Nouveau stained-glass windows. Free entry.

Beautiful. After viewing the church, be sure to climb the tower for spectacular views.

Amazing view! Pay 5 Fr. (student / child price available) at the cathedral shop next to the church and you will get a ticket to climb the stairs (368 steps 😬) at the left side of the church (another door).

Beautiful cathedral! The stained glass, relics, statues organ and more make this a great stop. They had great pamphlets available in multiple languages and really interesting history.

Worth to see. In fact, as I could observe this funicular is not spectacular. It's just small and short ride really, but it's a must do in Fribourg. A bit of the history of the city as it connects the old town with the new. I also in another day climbed the stairs next to it, which is not that exhausting.The funicular itself is made of wood and is quite old, which makes it special for me. ****

The price is included in the day ticket. So we thought we should try it. It's travels very short distance. It's not spectacular but an ok experience. Anyways there is not many touristy thing to visit near fribourg city center, so it can be visited once.

Very good Greek food! This place is a mix between your local bar and your greek restaurant. But the food is good!

The teas are so fresh and organic. Kind and warm staff

The caviar from eggplant was excellent as well as the Pitarakia dessert

(Translated by Google) Reopened at the beginning of April 2025, I went to try the Funi steak. Just excellent with the homemade sauce. There is also the vegan version for those who don't want meat. Impeccable service, smiling sommelier and friendly boss. Lots of decoration around the history of the funicular and the Cardinal brewery. In short, to recommend. (Original) Réouvert en ce début avril 2025, je suis allé tester le steak du Funi. Juste excellent avec la sauce maison. Il y a aussi la version vegan pour ceux qui ne veulent pas de viande. Service impeccable, sommelière souriante et patron sympa. Beaucoup de déco autour de l'histoire du funiculaire et de la brasserie Cardinal. Bref, à recommander.

Very mediocre food and rude manager or owner (bold grandpa), highly not recommend.

Great tour with ear phones you point to displays and learn more. I spoke to a chocolate decorator who has been there 25 yrs and he loves working there. Learn how to evaluate chocolate quality and taste and then get to sample many varieties of their chocolates. Superb place!

Absolutely worth a visit! Maison Cailler is an amazing experience from start to finish. There’s plenty of parking space, which makes visiting super convenient. Inside, you get to enjoy lots of free tastings of their delicious, high-quality chocolates every bite is a treat! My family enjoyed it so much The museum is beautifully done, fun, and educational great for both adults and kids. Outside, there’s a lovely park where children can play and enjoy the fresh air while you take in the stunning views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. A perfect spot for families, chocolate lovers, and anyone visiting Switzerland. Highly recommended!

We went on their tour, and it was an good experience! They had a ton of free samples and some really cool education and history. I wouldn’t drive there for 3 hours, but if you’re in the area, it’s definitely a nice stop.

It’s a really interesting museum! I love how they present their history in such an interactive way, and the chocolate tasting was a great touch. Truly an experience for both adults and children! 🍫

Cailler museum was a pure delight. There was a separate production line just for samples. Loved every bit of the museum from the history of chocolates to modern day chocolate making in Switzerland. Of course the free samples and the discounted chocolates in the gift store were icing on the top!

The Cailler chocolate factory is a very interesting place to visit, with a well-designed tour that shows the history and production process. The experience is enjoyable and the chocolate tasting is definitely a highlight. It is a bit expensive, but still worth it for the quality of the visit. The shop at the end is excellent, offering a wide selection of high-quality chocolates and gifts

Arriving was a little intimidating. We went at a 4:00 on a Sunday, and the line waiting to enter the tour was already out the door. The way they have their store set up is very aesthetically pleasing. A whole wall full of chocolate bars! The tour its self was very entertaining. You are lead through different rooms where they tell you the story of their factory, with each room heavily decorated to tell you part of the story, going perfectly along with the audio tour. They had a chocolate machine making little chocolates right in front of you, which, after being wrapped, were then placed in a bowl specifically for you to eat! They had multiple testing stations after that, which I loved. It was all around worth every penny.

Fantastic Medieval Castle For me this is one of the most fabulous castles in Switzerland with Chateau de Chillon or Vaduz (actually in Liechstenstein). The reason I really like it is the fact it is so well preserved you almost feel like you could be in the 13th century. The wood is still there which is quite unique. The whole feel is very grand. Bonus is that once you are here you can eat a great fondue in one of the local restaurants. Super worth it and recommended.

Enjoyed the visit to the castle very much, I happened to visit during medieval festival which was wonderful. Spent a couple of hours there. Lovely gardens as well. A great day's outing. I recommend going early morning to avoid crowds.

A nice small castle in Gruyère. You will learn how it changes over time as it was owned by a local count to the a rich artist family and lastly as a museum. The castle is interesting since it has also been used as a personal residence of artist family so there are a few rooms that looks like 19th century European home. You can also see beautiful scenery of surrounding village from the castle and also takes picture of beautiful garden. Two negative things that can be improved are: 1) There is a large signboard in the courtyard for ad. 2) There are some modern art installations that feel out of place within the castle (not dedicated space). Both break the immersion. Recommended to visit. 👍 Tips: You can buy join ticket with Maison du Gruyère or Giger Museum or Tibetan Museum.

This is a beautiful small town nestled in the swiss Alps. There are lots of shops and 3 cool museums to visit as well as a castle. The food was great but like in all the other reviews it's expensive. So if you want to eat cheep stop at the grocery store or McDonald's before heading up to the town.

Although we did not go inside, we enjoyed very much walking through the lovely town of Gruyeres all the way up to the castle and admired the beautiful view.

Although growing up in Switzerland, I had never visited Château de Gruyères before and hadn't even been aware of its existence. But I came across it online when planning my most recent visit to the country, and I'm glad I did, because it's an absolute gem and shouldn't be missed by anyone in the area! Unlike many other castles, it's well furnished, so lots of things to look at inside. Especially the tapestries I found sensational. There are also extensive exhibits that tell the story of Swiss tourism, which I found fascinating. Wondering around the castle was a real eye-opener, feeling like a true step back in time, interesting and educational. One thing to slightly criticise: The official Website is very slow, which can be a bit frustrating. Just wondering whether it's running on a slow server, which might benefit from an upgrade. I noticed this when planning the trip and just checked again now, encountering the same problem.

You can combo the castle ticket with the gruyere factory down below. Nice castle with perfect views up and down the valley. Three levels are open with a descent amount of artifacts. The fireplaces are something to pay attention to.

The museum was laid out very well, great selection of art, and friendly staff. It's not my style of art, however, the impact he had on modern movies is quite impressive. My perception is he was pursued by his own inner demons to create the style of art. (I do recommend the bar next door😉) As a side note, he supported bringing a new dimension to the historical castle and area which should not be underestimated.

It's an awesome place to explore the mind of H. R. Giger. From a mechanical perspective the details in his drawings and sculptures is insane and from an artistic perspective, at least subjective from my side - very interesting. If you like phallic/yonic shapes, it's a perfect way to experience them in all weird ways. I had a lot of laughs and good conversations with my GF over some drawings 😂 but also much appreciation over his art. He's 700 year waiting for B-Post sketches are priceless. If you think your child should accompany you - you are probably more weird than Mr. Giger himself. And only the best for Armbeinda.

The HR Giger Museum is an absolutely mind-blowing experience. Walking through the rooms feels like stepping straight into his surreal and dark universe – it’s both eerie and fascinating at the same time. The collection is huge, from his early sketches to the iconic Alien designs, and everywhere you turn there’s something that grabs your attention. It’s not just a museum, it feels like a journey into the mind of a true visionary artist. My wife and I kept pointing things out to each other, completely amazed by the level of detail and imagination. If you’re anywhere near Gruyères, this place is worth going out of your way for – unforgettable and one of a kind.

We had the most exciting time visiting this incredible museum with its extensive collection of artwork from HR Gigger. There are many exhibition rooms that we found very exciting to discover, my very favorite is a large table with high backed throne like chairs and life size sculpture of the Alien. Photos without flash are allowed.

Who would ever expect to find a sci-fi museum in the middle of a rural village best known for its cheese? And yet — there it is: the H. R. Giger Museum, showcasing the visionary works that earned him an Academy Award. Truly unique — weird and captivating at once — and absolutely worth a visit, especially set against the stunning panorama of Gruyères with its charming old town, castle and sweeping mountain views. PS: Don’t miss having a drink in the iconic bar just across from the museum.

If you like the artist who's artwork inspired the Xenomorph from the "Alien" franchise of movies then this is the museum for you. This covers all of HR Geiger's work not just the Xenomophs but other movies such as Species, as well as supernatural themes such as Satanic and magic based themes Due to this I would say personally that I wouldn't take anybody under 15 into the museum as I was made uncomfortable from some of the artwork and I am in my middle age and thought I was opened minded This art gallery is on 4 floors and while they will help you as much as they can to get around the museum, the village is medieval and very hilly so be advised that if you are like me with reduced mobility you may need to give yourself extra time The cost is reasonable at 12.50 swiss francs and you can't order advance tickets but due to the popularity of the village from tour groups get there as early as you can to avoid queues

Friendly staff and good music, drinks are a little expensive but everyone expected because the hype of the movie. Nice environment, good for a drink after knowing the village

La Maison du Gruyère is a must-visit in the region! You learn how Gruyère cheese is made, see the process up close, and taste some of the best cheese you’ll ever have. Quirky, fun, and hands-on (perfect for a tasty, memorable experience).

Visited La Maison de Gruyère — a must for any cheese lover like me! 🧀 Enjoyed the self-guided tour and learning about the unique process behind this famous Swiss cheese. Ended the visit perfectly with a delicious Gruyère fondue in the café. Simply unforgettable. 🇨🇭✨

Nice to visit, especially if you’re already passing through the area. It’s a small restaurant and overall quite simple, but the place itself is charming and offers a lovely glimpse into Swiss history. Worth a stop on the way….

La Maison du Gruyère is a charming stop if you’re visiting the Gruyères region. The self-guided tour is short but informative, giving a nice overview of how the famous Gruyère cheese is made. You can see the production process through glass windows (especially interesting if you go in the morning when cheese is being made), and the free audio guide adds good context in multiple languages. You’re given cheese samples at different stages of aging, which is a nice touch. The interactive parts are kid-friendly and engaging, and the gift shop offers a wide range of local cheeses and souvenirs at reasonable prices. However, the experience is more educational than hands-on, so don’t expect to make your own cheese or interact with the cheesemakers. Still, it’s a great stop for an hour or so, especially if combined with the nearby Gruyères Castle or the chocolate factory in Broc. Worth a visit if you’re in the area!

The tour was very much shorter than expected. although very informational, and quite entertaining, I felt it went by too quickly. They gave us cheese to try before we started our tour, and boy was it delicious. We are glad we did it, and would recommend it to anyone! The cheese will not disappoint

Love their cheese! Kids had a great time in the park next to their restaurant's outdoor seating. We ordered ice cream and it was delicious! Very cute items in their shopping area. Great wine, too!

A shorter but excellent experience to see how this traditional and famous Swiss cheese is made! It is quite short but as part of a bigger itinerary in the day this is perfect, best suited in combination with a trip to the castle, and well worth it! Their cafe is also really nice and the people are lovely, usually also very accommodating, and speak very good English, for those who have trouble with French.

Just out of this world experience. The views are absolutely stunning. The facilities are amazing considering the height. Multiple decks for panoramic views. Do keep in mind that the oxygen level will be low and some might feel a bit dizzy. Once in a life time experience,

Your amazing ride starts in the center of chamonix, there you will take the most thrilling cable car ride if you life. With the best views, grass that turns u to snow, and trees that turn into massive cliffs. Aguille du midi is a must for everyone. The views at the top are truly out of this world and make you seem so small. Would recommend to everyone visiting chamonix. Give out of five stars

Excellent view of the Alps from here. We were fortunate that the sky were clear. The view is better than the one we experienced in Jungfraujoch.

Wow!!! Just stunning. Exceptional views 360. Will do again. Review will not do any justice. You just have to go. Nice cafe as well. Stairs from elevator to cafe was a bit of a drag in the thin air. Wife’s lips turned purple from lack of oxygen. Be aware of the signs.

Incredible view . The beauty is breathtaking. You can see the highest peak in Europe from afar. Many people paragliding here. It is a must-visit place in life.

The cable bus from the Chamonix city with a change over in between takes you to the peak of Aiguille du Midi. This peak is exactly in the border of France and Italy. A 20 minutes journey of ten each takes you to the peak. To see the mont blanc, you have to take a pass like temporary visa to the italian side and from the peak to which a lift is taking you, you can see the mont blanc. There is also a glass cage with dead drop bottom. The view from the top is magnificient. It takes you to the view of entire iced surroundings. The mont blanc is the highest peak of Alps. More famous for limited edition pen. They are allowing a total of 2 and half hours to see and come back. On a sunny day, the views are beautiful. The climate is sometimes minus in the peak

Amazing experience. They give you a paper to indicate you have a time to get off the mountain to avoid rushes. Even though it was for 1.5 hours as the recommended time, we spent close to 4 hours (with about 1.5 hours for queuing for the glass dome alone). This was an unforgettable experience and highly recommended.

A place where you can touch your imagination. Extraordinary spaces at your fingertips. A wonderful, one-of-a-kind place. Never the same.

Crowded but beautiful. Physically challenging, technically not so much. Still it's not a hike and you need mountaineering equipment!

Soaring above Mont Blanc 🏔️ with endless blue skies and snow-kissed peaks—pure magic for adventurers and dreamers! ✈️ #MontBlanc

Lovely day out . Beautiful place to visit. Stunning views. Although cable car is expensive and crowded.

The highest peak in Western Europe, a sprawling white dome of snow and rock straddling the French-Italian border. The popular Goûter Route is a classic but hazardous high-altitude climb, traversing crevassed glaciers and exposed rock ridges, all within sight of bustling Chamonix.

Beautiful mountain with cable car access over the massive from Italy to France.

Hands down the best touristic mountain experience. The development up there is incredible. Perfect for facilitating the large number of tourists as well as the extreme sports enthusiasts. Every runs like a well oiled machine. Expensive but incredible.

Well maintained castle, modestly furnished, with a collection of interesting frescoes and murals. Strategically built on a small island, it used both the Lake Geneva and a moat created between the island and the mainland for defense. Our group had arrived in the late afternoon just in time to enjoy free wine tasting of some local wines, then proceeded to explore the medieval halls and underground chambers. The view from some rooms onto the lake and the Alps is stunning. It is the most visited monument in Switzerland.

This lakeside Castle with breathtaking view was stunning, pictures didn't do it justice. Its magical setting made it one of Switzerland’s most enchanting landmarks. I fully enjoyed my visit, highly recommend.

Château de Chillon is actually really big to explore, especially with the guided map they provide you. I was so tired, a lot of exploring new rooms that never seem like it would end. If you didn’t know, this castle inspired Prince Eric’s in The Little Mermaid. You can hear tons of water sounds by the prison area. It was relative peaceful for me as there weren’t much crowds and kids, so sometimes I got to explore rooms alone.

Beautiful castle (Little Mermaid was inspired on it) with lots of history. I really recommend taking the audio guide which is super complete. It lets you wonder alone around the castle which is a magical experience. The castle is in great conservation, and the dungeons are particularly beautiful. Would recommend this visit if you’re around. You can buy tickets directly upon arrival, and the audio guide takes like 2h to complete

The best view I’ve had from any castle I’ve visited so far. The castle is beautifully preserved, with authentic medieval furnishings that clearly took great effort to maintain. It’s generously open to the public, with access to nearly every corner—even up the creaky wooden staircases, which add to the sense of stepping back in time. Free entry for Swiss pass holders. Two hours or longer is needed.

Fascinating experience. We spent several hours wandering through the castle. The careful preservation of this site allows an understanding of history, with excellent access to all areas both indoors and outdoors and detailed information boards throughout. It is also a lovely lakeside walk from Montreux (after ferry from Lausanne) and a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating is opposite. A truly wonderful morning.

Chillon Castle is a medieval island castle located on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, near Montreux. It is the most visited historic monument in Switzerland. Come for their nice history and good lake views, indeed very photo worthy! After all it’s free with SWISS TRAVEL PASS.

This was great, fantastic views, really enjoyed the trip. We bought a 4 day advance ticket from tourist office for all local ski lifts for best value. We also walked on the path to the next ski lift La Paz, a medium challenging walk also with amazing views.

Highly recommended if hiking is main objective. We went upto Planplaz and then hiked to and from La Flegere. It too about 4 and half hours. Could take shorter or longer depending on fitness. One can go up and then take the stairs lift down to Le Praz or vice versa. Hiking or taking the cable car to Brevent is also an option.

Amazing experience we had to book the time slot to visit Mt Brevent the cable car was something else amazing engineering skills and design to carry people up to areas that are totally unreachable to most. Best Day for a long time

Great view. It is worthy to jump off and hike from the top lift Brevent to the middle lift. It takes around 1 hour to hike including the picture time and coffee break.

If you have multipass, you can use this cable lift for free...You have to change lift in half of your way up to top, where is restaurant with breathtaking view to Mont Blanc and nearby mountains...Above restaurant is another place with 360 degree breathtaking views...

Google map info about the cable car stations around Chamonix sometimes could be confusing. This is the station to Le Brevent. Not very crowded during UTMB period in late August. I bought a Multi pass and rode immediately.

We’ve never had much luck with the Aiguille du Midi, either poor weather with no visibility or fully booked on the clear days. This lift proved to be an excellent alternative, with breathtaking views of the Mont Blanc range. From the summit, you don’t just get the Mont Blanc panorama but also, on a clear day you can see all the way to the Chartreuse near Grenoble and Chambéry. It’s not as high as the Aiguille du Midi (only 2525m), but it’s still a fantastic experience and well worth the trip. There are auberges at both stops for food or drinks, and watching the paragliders take off adds to the atmosphere.

This is a small (but free) museum housed in the Montreux Casino building, telling the story of Queen, who recorded many of their albums in this studio, which they owned for part of their music career. Visit definitely recommended for Queen or Freddie fans (but not only). Visitors even get to "mix" a couple of songs, which I found quite fun. The experience feels very special and intimate, so if you have an hour while in Montreux, give it a go!

Excellent and very informative tribute to the wonderful band Queen, free entry with opportunity to make donations to the Mercury Phoenix Trust. Very small and quickly filled up, amazing, genuine costumes of the late great Freddie Mercury. You can also leave personal messages as you enter, also: try your hand at mixing the original song mother love on the interactive mixing console.

I stood where Freddie stood recording with the QUEEN their last song so wonderful to be experience that. I tried also mixing a song while recording which is one of the videos that I will show here. Hope you enjoy if you are in Montruex, Switzerland this is a must see. It is inside the Casino.

It’s a must visit for anyone who visits Montreux and is a fan of Queen. There are handwritten lyrics by Freddie and some really cool iconic merch! It is free to enter (no tickets required)

A must stop if you're a Queen fan. There was a ton of memorabilia in a small area, but most fascinating for me was the plaque showing were Freddie Mercury was standing when he recorded his last songs. As a music fan I could feel the energy in the room. It is a free museum, so they could have made it less impressive and I think people would not complain, but it is really well done with their limited space and a worthwhile bucket list item for Queen fans, or just music fans in general. Plus it's a beautiful area and you can see why anyone would like to spend time there. Just to read the history of the band and the building are worth it. IMO, the studio itself is the most amazing thing, this is where the art happened for so many famous songs. If you don't get that maybe you're not the Queen fan you think you are. People complaining about the price? It's free and only asks for donations for the Mercury Phoenix Trust to research AIDS treatment. If the review complains about parking costs, I recommend the Forum Mall less than 5 minutes walk away, or look for the two hour pay parking near the area. If you're parking in the casino and just going to the museum, you might feel you're paying too much.

It was very fun with free entrance. You can really feel Queen vibe. It is located inside the casino .It takes less than 20 minutes to explore it and don't miss it I really recommend it.There is a good restraint inside the casino As well if you like fancy foods

Must visit place, a tribune of love and gratitude to Freddie and Queen. So touching to see the hand written texts, the original costumes he was wearing, to hear the songs and to read the history of their recordings. You leave that place with a heart full of love.

An unforgettable way to experience the beauty of Switzerland! The Golden Pass railway is not only incredibly scenic—offering sweeping views of lakes, mountains, and charming villages—but also a practical and comfortable way to travel between regions. The journey is smooth, the trains are clean and well-maintained, and the panoramic windows make it feel like you’re gliding through a postcard. A must-do for anyone visiting Switzerland!

Loved the experience, and the Prestige section was a special treat. But they should give some thought to rearranging the layout a bit as you certainly can't use much of the deluxe chair features since you're totally constrained by the folks across from you in the four-Plex sections. Do yourself a favor and pick a seat from the single row sections - even if that means splitting up your party. Also, could really use some cupholders and places to stash your phones/cameras besides your lap or behind the front and back seats.

The Golden Pass Railway is a spectacular journey through Switzerland’s stunning landscapes, and using the First Class Swiss Travel Pass made it even more worthwhile. The flexibility to hop on and off as you please allows you to explore more destinations at your own pace. What truly impressed me is Switzerland’s transport system—it’s incredibly well-connected across boats, trams, trains, and buses. Everything runs smoothly and efficiently, making travel seamless and enjoyable. This review is based entirely on my personal experience, with no financial or personal interest in the service provider—just genuine appreciation for a world-class travel system. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Switzerland!

The GoldenPass Belle Époque ride was an absolute highlight of our trip. The vintage-style carriages, elegant interiors, and large windows created a charming and nostalgic atmosphere from the moment we boarded. The scenic journey was stunning throughout, offering beautiful views of lakes, mountains, and picturesque Swiss villages. Everything about the ride felt comfortable and memorable. If there’s one thing that could make the experience even better, it would be having a restaurant or dining carriage on board. Enjoying a proper meal while taking in the breathtaking scenery would elevate the journey to another level. Overall, a lovely and highly recommended experience for anyone travelling through Switzerland!

A memorable ride with endless magnificent scenery. The Prestige seat was absolutely worth it. Highly recommended, be sure to book in advance.

Really nice and smooth ride. The beauty of the sights you see really does feel like the time flies. I highly recommend reseving a seat, and even though all views are breathtaking, may be the right side of the train was of my preference. We traveled from Interlaken to Montreux, approximately 3,5 hours, and it felt like no other train ride before. Definitely a must.

I did the entire Golden Pass train journey from Interlaken ost to Montreaux. While the train with huge windows is great, the best panoramic views are only between Gstaad and Montreaux. This panoramic train is included in Swiss Travel Pass. Since I did my journey on a weekday during spring season in April, I did not reserve my seat and was able to get a very good seat. However, I strongly recommend seat booking if traveling during peak summer season.

🌟 A Must-Visit Tribute to a Legend 🌟 The Freddie Mercury Statue in Montreux is an iconic landmark that beautifully captures the spirit of the legendary Queen frontman. Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Geneva and the snow-capped Alps, the location is both peaceful and inspiring—exactly the kind of place you’d imagine Freddie loving. 📍 Location & Reachability The statue is located right on the lake promenade, in front of the Montreux Market Square, making it incredibly easy to find. It’s just a short walk from the Montreux train station (less than 10 minutes), and the promenade itself is a lovely walk filled with flowers, public art, and lake views. 🎶 Experience As a fan, it’s a surreal and emotional experience to stand in front of the statue with Freddie's music often playing nearby. The area is well-maintained and open to the public all day, making it a great stop whether you’re exploring Montreux or just passing through. 📸 Photo Tip Sunset is the best time to visit for photos—the golden light on the lake with Freddie’s silhouette makes for a perfect shot! Overall, this is a beautiful, easy-to-reach place that honors a musical legend in the most serene and scenic way possible. Whether you're a die-hard Queen fan or just appreciate good music and views, it’s absolutely worth a visit!

We arrived from Milan Sept 6, 2025 just in time for the 3 days Freddie Mercury birthday celebration. I enjoyed the celebration right there in Lake Leman so happy to celebrate 🥳 his birthday and experience where he once stood. The museum dedicated to Queen is just 200 meters from his statue.

Enjoyed the walk around Lake Geneva, admiring the many statues, small or lifesize. The iconic one of Freddie Mercury was like icing on a cake. However I do wish someone would clean up the statue once in a while, there is just too much junk hanging on him and around him as gifts from well meaning fans.

When in Rome...er, Montreux. Worth a visit for a photo or two if you've got the time. And there's a gelateria just a block away! Hang out on/near the lake right there at the coolest public bench circle ever made, then take a stroll along the lake - preferably near sunset.

As a lifetime fan of Freddie, I took a 4 hour detour, just to go and pay respect to the greatest singer and entertainer if all time. He has a beautiful spot with a great view of the lake. I'm sure he would have loved it.

The great representation of a Titan of music. A little hard to get a great photo as they were doing some construction around the area. At one point, he even had a do not cross tape wrapped around 1 foot as they made a fence to do some work on the viewing platform for the lake. I did manage to get one or two good shots. If you can get a picture of him from the side with the mountains and the lake on a nice day it is very breathtaking in a view. I’m sure he appreciated when he was in town to record music.

Statue of Freddie Mercury (Real name: Farrukh Bulsara) was a British singer and songwriter who achieved global fame as the lead vocalist and pianist of the rock band Queen. This statue is a tribute to him and serves as a memory of the days of his life he spent in Montreaux, Switzerland. The location is also stunning alongside Montreaux promenade. Tip: Don't forget to visit his recording studio in Montreaux. Search on google maps: Queen Studio Experience. Entry is free.

magnificent views and cotrast of flowers, lake and mountains

Most beautiful walk along the Lake Geneva, with colorful displays of fragrant flowers and shrubs. Among these flowers are scattered statues of animals, children, sports personalities and classical composers, some large, some small, but all just beautiful.

Lake Geneva is pure magic — one of the most breathtaking places my heart has ever discovered. It’s not just the largest lake in Switzerland; it’s a living masterpiece where nature and human charm blend seamlessly. The majestic mountains rising in the distance, the deep, shimmering waters, and the graceful towns and endless vineyards around the shore create a feeling as if you’ve wandered into a dream. I'll never forget the quiet evening walks when the lake reflected the sunset like a giant mirror. Whether you're looking for peaceful moments to breathe in beauty, or adventures across charming town Montreux, Lake Geneva welcomes you with open arms. It’s a place that gently touches your soul, leaving you inspired, restored, and longing to return❤️

Wonderful path surrounded by trees, flowers, plant and art.

The Montreux promenade is absolutely stunning — a peaceful walkway along Lake Geneva lined with colorful flowers, palm trees, and sculptures. The views of the Alps across the lake are breathtaking, especially during sunset. There are plenty of benches, cafés, and ice cream spots along the way, making it perfect for families and couples alike. A relaxing and unforgettable experience — one of the most beautiful promenades in Switzerland

Doesn't matter what time of the day or what day of the year...if you are in Montreux, you just have to take a nice leisurely stroll along the lake. The place is always breathtakingly beautiful and it is peaceful despite being full of tourists and locals. There are many things to see along the promenade along with many restaurants and shops.

It's such a beautiful place to stroll down and enjoy the views of the lake. We weren't there during clear skies and it was still so so beautiful! The flowers were blooming and so many varieties, it was really a treat. Would recommend coming during Sunday, just a short train ride (not even an hour) from Geneva. Definitely a nice change from the shops and city life!

Really super day, but we are keen walkers and wildlife watchers. Daughter loved seeing the animals in their natural habitat. The only thing I would say is that it isn't very clear that the bus doesn't run on a weekend and it is a strenuous walk up to the park from Les Houches.

The 4th visit, 1st time with the Family and they loved it. We managed to see most of the animals. The walk from parking to the park is very steep and may be ling depending how crowded it is and if you have elders or children.

One of the best activities in the area! I really enjoyed the hiking trail, and the animals are absolutely beautiful. If you’re an animal lover, you’ll definitely enjoy it. It’s also very kid-friendly. 💙 Note: It’s best to drive all the way to P1, as the hike to the entrance is quite long.

Doesn’t worth the entry fee. Limited number of animals. It’s fare to say that they charge for the view. The view to Month Blanc is great. Beautiful scenery. There isn’t even a decent bench to sit and have a snack.

Really lovely place to walk around and see the animals, we didn't see everything but we did see Marmots which my children were very happy about. There are a few places to park but it's quite a walk from the car parks up the hill to the entrance - try and park as close as you can, don't stop at the first place you see. When we visited in the afternoon, we drove as far as we could up the road and found a spot in the top car park - if we had taken the first slot we saw, we would have over 1km to walk up which, with 2 small children, would have been painful. You need to reserve online before going - you pay when you get there , The views of the surrounding area are fantastic. There's a cafe and gift shop, all over priced as you'd expect...

I was in Chamonix for 8 days and think that here’s the highlight of the trip. Stunning views and wildlife in combo. Fantastic! Remember to reserve in advance

Love it! The views are stunning and it’s so peaceful to be just walking around animals that are not scared of you and just go about their day. Very worth it!

Nice ride up to just above the Bionnasay Glacier. The website sucks bigtime but don't let that withhold you from a beautiful day in the mountainbike.

Great experience. We took a beautiful walk after the train ride. Magical landscapes

2023 Sept. Lovely view of the Bionassay glaciers on our tram ride.

Nice mountain and train but the staff insisted on all non climbers into one carriage so that we had to stand even though the other carriage had loads of space. They actually stopped us getting on the carriage with plenty of space

Worth the trip!! Great hiking at the upper stations.

Took this trip to explore more of the Mont Blanc range and wasn't disappointed. Incredible journey up the side of the mountains, sharing the trip with mountaineers who were off to the summit. Good choice of walks from the top - clothing for cooler weather & good footwear essential.

Beautiful views along the road

Booked our 3yr old toddler in a few months back. Great communication from Ellie in the team all the way through to before just first lesson. So many questions for us that they happily answered. He then met Francois. Despite a few tears at the start he was quickly off exploring and boarding. Beaming from ear to ear at the drop off. For the next few days, everyone in Mint uniform has became a best friend to him, waving when he points them out to us. He has had a great time boarding and learning new things as well as having adventures on the chair lifts. He wants to come back for more lessons with Francois and next year I will have a few with Mint as well.

Technical Performance Course with MINT Snowboarding My boys (now 13 and 15) have been having lessons with MINT most seasons since they were just 4 and 6 years old, so we’ve known and trusted this incredible team for years. This season, I joined my 15 year old on the Technical Performance course and it turned out to be one of the best snowboarding experiences we’ve ever had. I’m an experienced boarder, but I had never ventured in the snow park. I really wanted to push my riding to the next level, and this course delivered exactly that. The coaching was technical, focused, and perfectly tailored to each rider. We covered everything from carving and torsional flex to steeper terrain, off-piste control, and freestyle, with helpful video feedback throughout the week. We were lucky to have two brilliant instructors Jorge and Janet who each brought their own unique style to the course. Jorge’s energy and technical insight were inspiring, while Janet’s calm, precise coaching helped us really lock in key improvements. It was great to experience both their teaching styles they complemented each other so well. Safe to say, my son was exceptional when it came to freestyle he was flying through the park, and learning alongside him really pushed me too. We spent half our mornings in the snow park, starting on the small jumps, part way through the 1st session my son moved onto the medium size jumps and by second day so was. Part way through the week we were confidently hitting and landing the middle-sized ones all day long. I didn’t expect to enjoy the park as much as I did, but I absolutely loved it. MINT really is the premier snowboard school in Europe, they’ve built an incredible reputation for a reason. From age 3 to adult, their coaching system and team of instructors are second to none. I wouldn’t recommend any other snowboard school. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to fine-tune advanced skills, MINT is simply the best. Huge thanks again to the whole team. we’ll definitely be back.

We decided we wanted to take the twins (6yrs) for their first trip to the mountains this winter, and learn to snowboard. We researched all the schools in Europe and time and time again we were drawn back to Mint. The reviews were phenomenal and the vibe we felt from their social was exactly what we wanted. We came to Avoriaz for Mint, and wow, it was the best decision we made. Francois their instructor was incredible, they both loved him, and he knew exactly how to get the best out of their very different personalities. We genuinely couldn’t have found a better fit, and could not believe the improvements seen in just 3 lessons! We will be making Mint and Francois a firm feature in our annual calendar! Thank you Francois and Mint for making their first time to the snow/mountains and epic one!

Massive thank you to Tammy and the rest of the Mint crew for such an awesome week on the slopes. I did the off piste course and we were lucky enough to be treated to a new adventure every day! Tammy provided lots of guidance and definitely feel I came away a better boarder. We had a great group so lots of fun was had!! Can’t wait for next season!

Such a fantastic week. I loved everything about it. Tammy’s coaching was excellent. She made use of every moment we had on the slopes and covered so much ground in one week. The technical skills we learned improved our riding in a variety of terrain and conditions. We had a blast in every lesson whether we were on the piste, gaining confidence in the park or riding powder. The chalet was really nice and the hosts were amazing. The yoga sessions with Katie were really good too. I feel so lucky to have been part of this camp. Everybody was so friendly, encouraging and fun to hang out with. I made some really good friends and look forward to snowboarding with them and Mint again soon!

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! The camps are amazing combined with Treeline. The instructor was really patient and gave me so much confidence on the slopes. DEFINITELY coming back next year 🏂🤩💫

Had a fabulous week with Iban, In a group of 3 ,we all said we learnt so much! Top Instructor and always a lovely smile. Definitely recommend and would use again.

This was only the second time we have been skiing, having gone in February 2024 but not to Morzine. Sadly today (3rd January 2025) was our last day skiing for this holiday. We have had daily lessons for the last week - 1 instructor for my wife and myself and one for our teenage girls - they are way better than us parents! Tom, was tasked with teaching us oldies and Kate the girls. To say they were great just doesn't seem sufficient. They both quickly understood our relative levels and what we needed and were brilliant at keeping the lessons fun and at the right level. By the end of the week the girls were off piste skiing and doing 360 spins and skiing backwards! My wife and I ... were not doing these things ... but we were able to ski around with total confidence (and if we do say so ourselves some ok technique!) and have just a lovely time on some beautiful runs. We will most definitely be coming back to Morzine and we will absolutely be booking again with British Alpine Ski School. All of the Bass employees seemed great but as we got to know Tom and Kate a little bit more we do have a particular soft spot for them. And finally a quick mention to Jo in their head office. She is so helpful with the booking process and made things so simple and made you feel like a real person. An absolute star. As you can tell I can't recommend BASS enough... even if I couldn't do 360 degree spins ... but maybe next time!

I can honestly say we had one of the best experience with BASS Les Gets that we have ever had with any company. It was our first time skiing with our young girls and from the support and advice during the booking process through to the AMAZING instructor we had we could not have wished for more! It made the trip so much more enjoyable for the whole family and I would 100% recommend them to anyone considering a ski school in France. Thank you and see you next year.

Both my individual and group lessons with BASS were excellent and I would highly recommend them. They keep their class sizes small and this meant that I got lots of very individualised feedback from highly experienced and expert instructors, even in a group lesson. The instructors tailored the lessons to meet the varied needs of everyone in the group and made sure everyone had an enjoyable time. This makes it well worth the slightly higher cost than other companies in Morzine because you develop much more quickly across a smaller number of lessons.

I recently had the pleasure of taking ski lessons in Les Gets with instructors Ed and Jaz, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the start, their energy, passion, and enthusiasm for skiing were absolutely contagious. Their love for the sport was evident, and it made the whole experience incredibly engaging and enjoyable. Having not skied for a very long time, I was initially quite nervous, but their positive attitude and encouraging approach made all the difference. They had a great way of boosting confidence, ensuring that every step of the lesson felt like progress rather than pressure. The teaching style is adaptable, adjusting to your needs and skill level, which made learning both effective and loads of fun. Beyond their excellent instruction, Ed and Jaz were punctual(unlike me), professional, and incredibly helpful. Their ability to break down techniques in an easy-to-understand way while keeping the atmosphere light and fun made every lesson a highlight of my trip. If you’re looking for ski instructors who bring skill, enthusiasm, and a genuinely supportive teaching style, Edward and Jaz are an outstanding choice. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Had a fantastic experience with BASS, the booking process with Jo was really smooth and a special thank you goes to Tom my instructor. I began the week barely able to turn on green runs without falling over and ended confidently skiing a red run, the tuition was brilliant throughout and he really took the time to understand my strengths and weaknesses and build up my confidence. Can't recommend them highly enough and I wouldn't hesitate to book again on my next visit to Morzine.

BASS is the bomb. I only ever skied once in my life before (which was not a great experience) and within four days of adult group lessons I was comfortable going down blue pistes !!! The groups are small and the instructors communicated with one another to make sure that everyone was comfortable at their levels. My instructor Tom Watts was amazing: patient, kind and knew well when it was time to take it to the next level. Group lessons can be frustrating when different levels and learners are put together, but this school has a fantastic system to cater to everyone's needs and learning goals. Super experience !!!!!

We have been using Bass for a few years now for our girls; now 6 and 7. Hands down the best ski school for children (we have also tried others). Instructors are kind, credible and deliver great coaching. Our children always enjoy the experience. In Val both Luke and Dave have been exceptionally good.

We were here in early July and it was a nice walk along the lake to this museum perched on a small hill in the middle of a lovely park. Please visit the grounds even if you do not step inside the museum. Nice views over the lake and pleasant outdoor Olympic related art and information sprinkled through the outdoor grounds and all of this is free to access. Inside it is a well curated place with lots of information for an Olympics fan. We did it all in about 2 hours. The gift shop is where you buy the entrance tickets. Pro tip: if you do have a ticket and are there during the daytime, you do NOT need a lunch reservation to simply have a drink on their glorious outdoor terrace at the restaurant on the top floor. We just asked the host if we could sit outside for a drink and he enthusiastically said of course! What views!!! Drinks were not cheap but not more expensive than any other restaurant. So if you are curious and didn’t make a lunch reservation, please do stop by and see if you can snag a seat outside. The staff were kind and helpful.

It is obviously a must visit museum if you are in the Olympic capital Lausanne. Everything is very well presented. I particularly love the video clips introducing every Olympic Games through the years, as every clip begins with important events of that year. I’d very much love to finish them all but my schedule doesn’t allow me to. All the collections are inspiring and hold collective memories of people from all over the world, some of which remind me of the days when I was little and watched on TV the Olympic Games with my father. The -1 floor is fun. View of the lake from the terrace of the restaurant is stunning. Free access for Swiss pass holders.

Very nice. We were desperately looking for a clean bathroom that’s also free lol. It’s nice to see the poster of the Beijing Olympic in 2008. Unfortunately we only found the poster card but not many other souvenirs options such as fridge magnet for the Beijing Olympic.

Free admission with the Lausanne city pass. Cool exhibition showcasing the history of the Olympics from ancient times, all the way through to 2026. Highlights include a section about art and design of the posters and iconography of the Olympics, as well as a well rounded gift shop with good items at all price ranges

Olympics museum is a must visit place for all Olympic fans. The location is stunning on the shores of lake Geneva in Lausanne. Infrastructure of museum is excellent with free locker rooms for storage. You study entire history of Olympics from its origin in Greece to revival of modern Olympics. There are archives of summer and winter Olympic games, mascots and models of all Olympic torches, Olympic uniforms etc. The museum used excellent multimedia to present everything. There are videos on projector screen which display opening ceremonies of all Olympic seasons. However, Olympics museum has lots of scope for expansion considering its huge space. You can have interactive games like FIFA museum in Zurich. A Hall of Fame can also be made featuring most celebrated Olympians of all times like Michael Phelps. A special section for upcoming Olympics can also be done. Hope to see these updates with passing time. Entry to Olympics museum is free with Swiss Travel Pass.

This museum is located facing Lausanne (Geneva)Lake with a nice park in front and is very well connected through road and metro rail network. It is a fantastic audio visual experience indoor as well out door and must see for tourists. Plan to spend at least 2 hours here and you will cherish it.

We spent there more than 2 hours. Interactive, with plenty of interesting information, surrounded by a nice park, with a great view and even access to a beach. If you are in Lausanne, must visit. Tickets are 20 CHF per person, no needed to buy in advance.

Impressive cathedral with wonderful views of the town. A bit of a climb up steps if one takes the wrong route, but in any case well worth a visit. Large, quiet, peaceful, stained glass, statues, carvings, small and unobtrusive gift shop. Not overly commercial, and free to enter, as it should be but in some churches is not. Panoramic views of the town below.

One of the most impressive landmarks in Lausanne. The Gothic architecture is stunning, especially the stained glass windows that create a magical atmosphere when the sunlight shines through. Located on a hill, the cathedral also offers beautiful views of the city. Climbing the tower stairs can be a bit tiring, but the panoramic view at the top is absolutely worth it. A perfect mix of history, architecture, and scenery

Lausanne Cathedral is a stunning masterpiece of Gothic architecture with breathtaking views over the city and Lake Geneva. The interior’s stained glass and grand organ are awe-inspiring. Climb the tower for panoramic sights—it’s worth every step. A must-visit landmark rich in history and beauty.

A must-visit gem in Lausanne! This Gothic cathedral, dating back to the 12th century, offers stunning architecture and panoramic views of the city, Lake Geneva, and the Alps. Climbing the belfry is worth the minimal fee for the breathtaking scenery. Inside, the grand organ is a marvel, and the nightly tradition of the watchman announcing the hour adds a unique touch. Don't miss exploring the charming old town surrounding the cathedral. Highly recommended for history and architecture enthusiasts!

The beautiful Gothic cathedral of Lausanne is a must visit place when in this lovely Swiss city. The stained glass is magnificent, as is the architecture and the cathedral’s commanding location above the ancient city centre. Not to be missed….

Lausanne Cathedral is a stunning Gothic masterpiece. Its intricate facade and soaring interior inspire awe, while the serene ambiance invites reflection. The view from the tower is breathtaking. A must-see for its architectural beauty and historical significance.

It's worth going out of your way to visit this masterpiece of Gothic architecture. If you have a chance, see a concert, especially one featuring the world famous organ. It's one of the organs of all time

Great place to spend some leisure time here.. quite a lot of tiny things to do here especially for kids and family.. you can just sit around and soak in the beauty of lake Geneve... don't miss this..

Clean and very convenient. Easy access to the port and parks. Pricing is cumulative in 20-30 minute increments, so you end up paying 4CHF for 40 minutes.

None of the electric charging machines are operational. None working.

Parking was fine. Charging station couldn't be used with two different cards.

Really bad experience. Bad organised, had to wait a lot till we found a place and to go out from the parking ,it took an hour, because it id really bad organised. Do not recommend it at all. The worst experience with a car park ever for my 43 years .

Port D'Ouchy itself is a magnificent place. We went on a Sunday-- so clean, serene, the views of Geneva Lake and nearby France are spectacular. There is also a park and a nice view of Chateau D'Ouchy from behind. Good for picnics.

Pretty big underground parking lot near lake which should be your first destination during exploring Lausanne. I personally like LED lights which indicates free or occupied parking space. This parking isn't free, but this is common thing in Switzerland.

Must see for art lovers! I didn't take a lot of pics, merely enjoyed and bought a book (supports!). In the USA, I guess we call this folk art? The collection is VERY diverse. The Art Brut is now one of my favorite museums in the world.

Great artists could come from anywhere. This is a museum that offers a very different experience. The majority of museums focus on preserving the conventional mainstream arts or a piece of noteworthy history. This one and its collections make you realize that mental or physical illness a lot of people endure or ordinary lives we live do not diminish what’s pure in (probably all of) us.

Very well curated museum showcasing work from artists society doesn't deem important. Free admission with the Lausanne city pass. Art is thought provoking and facilities are well managed.

Moving and touching. You could feel the emotional and mental state of the artists through their work. I absolutely suggest it if anyone finds themselves in Lausanne. It also had a 3 day pass with 2 more museums. Excellent experience.

Really interesting visit if not a little disturbing at times 🤔

Focuses on artists without formal artistic training, many of them from the margins of society. The resulting art is fresh and captivating. This is one of the most exciting museums that I have visited.

Wonderful museum with a great collection of Art Brut, rich in individuality and depth. Worth visiting and revisiting. Friendly and helpful staff, special thanks to Julia for helping me find my lost item!

This is hotel located on a large plot of land and composed of an 19 th century impressive older building with reception area and restaurants, which was complemented with a new semi circle extension in which the bedrooms are located. The outside gives a mixed feeling: an impressive entry to the entrance building, while garden and parking lots are looking messy and not maintained. The reception staff is very friendly and welcoming and provided all info that we wished for. A special thanks to Johnny for his great service and welcome. The rooms are of a normal size and are well equipped with a good bathroom. Minibar is stocked quite limited. From the room you have access to the hotel pool, but more importantly any hotel guests have free access through there own entry to the thermal pools and spa. This is a great benefit of staying at this hotel. Breakfast is served in the historical building in a large room. The breakfast offers the usual fare although there was no mention of eggs or omelets etc. When asked we were provided with them. The rooms was quite full with guests and the staff had to work hard to arrange and clear the tables and refill the buffet. The hotel is between a 3 and 4 star hotel category, and would need some upgrading in the areas commented upon above. Nevertheless, the hotel is fairly priced and overall we enjoyed our stay at this hotel, the access to the thermal pools and the excellent service from Johnny.

Very beautiful hotel but majority of the thermal baths are closed. Lockers, showers and toilets are in temporary containers. But worst of all the water is so cold. I have been many outdoor pools in Switzerland even on colder days but don’t remember being this cold anywhere.

The bath is under construction with only two outdoor pools and a Sauna container open. Changing rooms are in temporary containers. They still charge CHF 25.- per adults which is grossly overcharged for the experienced offered.

Don’t waste your time and money to go there. First of all, they did not even bother to hide the construction site right in fron of the pool. Second of all, the showers were dirty and no soap or anything. It is extremely basic and boring place, a simple pool with luke warm water and a tiny sauna where you have to awkawardly look at the people swimming in the pool in front of you, at least turn the sauna around to be able to look at the park. I thought in Switzerland there are better service conditions and more pleasant atmosphere in places like this, but no, this felt like going to the pool in a middle sized city in 3rd world country in the 60’s or something. There are way better baths in Switzerland, still not great, but much better. Very dissapponted, sorry, this is an honest opinion.

My family and I just returned from our stay at Grand Hotel de Bains in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland. I must say that it is an awesome hotel, with amazingly helpful staff—everyone at the front desk spoke English fluently—which was great for us. The hotel itself is lovely—not particularly modern (but that’s part of the charm)—one of the reasons I love Switzerland! A lovely breakfast buffet is included each morning—which is nice. Also, each of our rooms had a balcony—overlooking the pools and a view of mountains in the backdrop (breathtaking). By far, my favorite part of our stay was the hot/thermal pools. The hotel has two massive outdoor thermal pools and one indoor thermal pool (which happen to be open to the public—for a fee). Hotel guests have access to these three pools, but also have access to a smaller private pool (picture of private pool posted). The pools are so very relaxing. As an added bonus, we were there at the same time the Austin Healy classic car show was happening. The cars were absolutely spectacular—seeing close to a hundred of these lovely cars every morning was a treat! Overall, an awesome experience.

Enjoyed the stay - can't complain one bit - Thermal pools were amazing a comfortable 32' while it was snowing 😂

Currently undergoing building work (as many others have said) but there are still two nice outdoor heated pools available - one warmer than the other - and a sauna. Welcoming to all ages - my 2 year old had a great time!

Easy access to port €2 return

Super experience

Good belvedere.

beautiful view

(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience with the Thonon-les-Bains funicular! A quick but very pleasant little ride, which efficiently connects the upper town to the lower town and the shores of Lake Geneva. The view during the descent (or ascent) is superb, especially in good weather. It's practical, clean, and the staff is friendly. A real plus for visiting Thonon without tiring yourself out on the stairs. I highly recommend it to tourists and locals alike! (Original) Très belle expérience avec le funiculaire de Thonon-les-Bains ! Un petit trajet rapide mais très agréable, qui relie efficacement la ville haute à la ville basse et au bord du lac Léman. La vue pendant la descente (ou la montée) est superbe, surtout par beau temps. C’est pratique, propre, et le personnel est sympathique. Un vrai petit plus pour visiter Thonon sans se fatiguer dans les escaliers. Je recommande vivement aux touristes comme aux locaux !

(Translated by Google) It's a good idea to take the funicular to get to the town center of Thonon-les-Bains. Fortunately, it wasn't extremely hot, as it's a bit lacking in air. Otherwise, it's very well maintained. A beautiful view of the lake. In the town center, there are many small restaurants and snack bars, including ice cream parlors. Only one bakery and pastry shop, where you have to pay in cash, which is a drawback. A tourist office with a beautiful view of the lake. (Original) C'est bien de prendre le Funiculaire pour aller au centre ville de Thonon les Bains. Par contre heureusement qu'il ne faisait pas extrêmement chaud car il manque un peu d'air, sinon il est très bien entretenu. Une très belle vue sur le lac. Au centre ville de nombreux petits restaurants et snacks des glaciers. Une seule boulangerie patisserie ou il faut payer en espèces un inconvénient. Un office de tourisme avec une belle vue sur le lac.
