Montreux by boat

Montreux

Built in 1904, Length 68.4m
Power 884cv, Capacity 560 pers.

We went to Montreux by boat. It went from Lausanne's Ouchy to St. Gingoloph - Le Bouveret - Villeneuve - Chillon - Territet - Montreux.











Our bus stop in front of the apartment, Mont d'Or. Andrew remembers the bus very well... it's 6 Sallaz ! Then stopping at St Francois.










The view at St. Francois. From there we went to Ouchy to buy the boat tickets.










We waited for the ship to arrive at 12:30pm and soon we were off on our way!



















Very nice views from the boat. It was about 1.30 hours long cruise. The lake's water was turquoise green due to the minerals from glacier and sun reflection.










The Swiss Alps are covered in snow although it's summer.










Montreux is a beautiful city by the lake.










Yummy margarita pizza was for lunch. Then we went to the train station. Andrew posed in front of our train, taking us back to Lausanne.
