Switzerland Castle of Chillon
This spot is all about the castle of Chillon and the mountains in the background.
The most visited castle in Switzerland in a unique location with breathless scenario.
It's possible to take a break waiting the sunset into the lake after a hot day in Montreux of shopping.

Photography Tips
You can also get close to the lock and use a wide angle lens. But at this spot I recommend something around 50 to 70 mm. In any case, take a zoom lens with you. From this spot you can shoot wonderful sunrises. Sunset works too.
Travel Information
Parking place is free after 20:00 am.
Or you can take the train from Villeneuve or Montreux.
The train station is just above the castle, please stop at "Veytaux-Chillon".
You can swim in the lake (summer time) and make also BBQ, so best place also for a day trip.
