Site of international importance for waterfowl and migratory birds. Also a habitat for amphibians, insects and rare marsh plants. It can be visited all year round, especially in spring from March to May and in winter from November to February.

This lakeside promenade is brilliant. Even non-botanists can admire great, old subtropical plants and fantastic seasonal flower arrangements here. In spring, the snowfields of the mountains on the southern shore (Haute Savoie) compete with the sparkling and glittering stars on the waves of Lake Geneva. A dream.

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.

"The view over the lake is absolutely breathtaking—such a peaceful and scenic spot! And the wineries in the area are perfect for cycling, especially with the calm, low-traffic roads. It’s a dream route for wine lovers and nature enthusiasts alike!"
