Conclusion: there's a lot to do here in and around Lausanne!
Luckily, Wouter brought his fancy camera along, so here some impressions for you to enjoy:
View of Cully. This village is part of the Lavaux wine-area, which is a Unesco heritage site.
The Chateau de Chillon (Chillon Castle), a very beautiful and well-conserved medieval castle. Located very close to the city of Montreux, well known for its jazz-festival.
The Olympic torch, at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. The International Olympic Committee resides in Lausanne. I'll try to write some more about that soon.
Waiting for the tiny train at the tiny station in Caux to bring us up the huge mountain.
In the train, on our way to the Rochers de Naye.
On top of the >2000 m Rochers de Naye. A very spectacular mountain, and a very spectacular view; unless it's clouded.

A well deserved beer after a weekend full of activities!
End of the touristic slide show. Thanks to Wouter and Marlies for the pictures.
Hey Daan,
ReplyDeleteI didn´t know the Olympic Museum resides in Lausanne. Just another reason to follow the first visiters somewhere in future!
Good luck with your daily mountain climb by bike.
All the best from Rotterdam!
