Les Diableretsからの美しい登り。問題なくこなせます（Col du Pillonのすぐ後でも）。特に最後の1キロは素晴らしい景色が楽しめ、頂上からはモンブランの氷河が見えます（？）。頂上には小さなバーがありますが、コーヒーはありませんでした（9月）。

Around the middle of the 19th century, there was even talk of writing off Chillon Castle for demolition and using the stones in the construction of the railway. However, the landscape, the grand castle, and the romantic stories of the former prisoners had long captivated many, and interest in the monument's outstanding historical significance was also awakening. And so, more and more travelers visited the castle, which, from the 1820s onward, could also be viewed from the new steamships on Lake Geneva. While Rousseau had already chosen the castle as the setting for a key scene in his 1761 epistolary novel Julie ou la Nouvelle Héloïse, other writers, such as Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas, were inspired by the place, in addition to Lord Byron. The café next to the castle is now called "Byron." The French painter Gustave Courbet depicted Chillon several times during his stay on Lake Geneva, and Eugène Delacroix, who was influenced by Lord Byron's poems, as well as other artists, also painted views of the moated castle, the image of which became widely known through photography in the age of early tourism.

Wonderful view of the castle

The Col des Mosses is a mountain pass in the canton of Vaud. It connects Chateau d'Oex with Aigle and is a popular destination for both mountain bikers and road cyclists.

In the execution cell, dangling from the rope, you have a great view of the lake for a short time

Departing from the Chablais vineyards, the Col de la Croix is 22 kilometers long and 1,300 meters high, ending in an alpine landscape above the Villars resort.

The Château de Chillon is located on the shores of Lake Geneva, near Montreux in Veytaux, Switzerland. This medieval and romantic castle is a precious historical jewel that has been enthroned on its rocky island for almost a millennium. The castle is located on the eastern shore of Lake Geneva, in a picturesque spot between Montreux and Veytaux. It has become famous thanks to literary works such as “La Nouvelle Héloïse” by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and “The Prisoner of Chillon” by Lord Byron. The castle dates back to the thirteenth century and is one of the best preserved medieval castles in Europe. In addition to its historical significance, the Château de Chillon also offers wonderful exhibitions, animations and events. You can also rent rooms for special occasions.

Magnificent setting, truly exceptional view of the valley!
