balhannah Says: Lutry was located before we reached Lausanne. As it was lunch time, we decided to stop in this smaller town, rather than larger Lausanne.It was a good choice! Only small, Lutry has a delightful old town that I enjoyed exploring. Narrow streets, gorgeous Rose's in bloom,...
balhannah Says: This is a drive of about 28kms if you follow the A9, longer if you follow the lake-side and see all the pretty villages.We did both ways, and even though the distance is not far, it is a full days outing if you wish to stop and look around some of the villages, they do...

EspritMontagne Says: Restaurant Molino is one of the few restaurants that is located on the boulevard. They have a huge menu to choose from, but nonetheless the quality's always good and stable. It's a typical Italian restaurant, so they serve a.o. pastas, pizzas, gnochi, risotto and very nice...

balhannah Says: My husband is an experienced driver, and I do not get car sickness. Lucky for us, as the Mountain road from Montreux to Les Rochers-de-Naye was very narrow and windy.If we had met a car in some places, it would have meant one of us reversing. It doesn't pay to be squeamish!...

balhannah Says: Parking in Switzerland was often quite hard to find, only because all the parks had been taken by the workers in the Town's/Cities. Most cities have blue zones that require you to display a parking disc on your dashboard indicating time of arrival and allowing restricted...
