Château de Chillon, Lake Geneva. Another great day in the Swiss Alps, including a section on the Golden Pass Panoramic Train to Montreux where this picture was taken. Snow is forecast for tomorrow.
Gorgeous !! what a beautiful castle many yrs ago we took a school trip to Switzerland and the day we visited the Chateau it absolutely poured with rain !! and the water absolutely poured out of the down pipes and gutters we were so glad to get the party inside !! Thank you for the memory !! fav
@rosiekerr It's a Shearings coach holiday called "Winter on the Glacier Express". I'm not normally one for organised excursions, but it would be very difficult to match this holiday for what is being fitted in. A lot of the best scenery is from panoramic trains, which makes it almost impossible to get a quality image, but the views are stunning. So good I might do it again next year.
This caught my eye as I have an old painting of this place. It belonged to my parents when they visited before I was born....probably circa 1950! What a beautiful place and what a wonderful holiday you have been having! fav!
I did a summer graduate program several years ago in the little town of Leysin that was very close to this Chateau. They had the graduation ceremony inside. It is a lovely place.
