Corniche de Lavaux

To the east of Lausanne is one of the most beautiful parts of Switzerland, with many features of interest. Between Lutry (380 m/1,247ft) and Vevey the road runs past the Monts de Lavaux. There is a magnificent stretch of road on the Corniche de Lavaux (Corniche Vaudoise), running high above the lake through the vineyards and affording views of the mighty peaks around the upper end of the lake.
