Switzerland Chillon Castle (Château de Chillon) from nearby north bank
This spot is all about the Chillon Castle and the mountains in the background. The most visited castle in Switzerland in a unique location with a breathless scenario.
During summer it's possible to take a break waiting for the sunset in the lake after a hot day in Montreux. You can swim in the lake and also have a BBQ, so it's a great place in general for a day trip.

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".
