Lausanne 3-Hour Riviera & Lavaux Cruise

For the fullest view of the terraced vineyards, this three-hour CGN cruise leaves Lausanne-Ouchy on Lac Léman, in Switzerland, and runs the Lavaux UNESCO World Heritage terraces and the Riviera shoreline. More time on the water means the best angle on the wine country.

Three hours along the Lavaux terraces

The boat leaves the Ouchy waterfront below Lausanne and follows the north shore east, past the Lavaux terraces, the steep stone-walled vineyards that carry UNESCO World Heritage status and produce the region's Chasselas white. The route continues along the Riviera toward Vevey and Montreux, with the Alps across the lake, before turning back. Three hours is enough to watch the terraces slide past slowly rather than in a glimpse, and there is a first-class deck option if you want it.

Season, comfort and the Swiss Pass

Departures run on CGN's seasonal timetable, mainly late April to mid-October, lighter in winter. At around CHF 44 the longer trip suits wine lovers, photographers, and anyone who prefers a slow afternoon on the lake to a quick loop. It holds a 4.2 rating across 192 reviews on the listing, and the first-class upgrade buys a better deck and view.

This is a scheduled CGN line cruise, so the Swiss Travel Pass covers standard travel on it; premium and first-class supplements may still apply. See live prices and dates →
