Itinerary
Day 1
Fly to Geneva, meet your tour manager and fellow guests, and make the scenic transfer by coach to Chateau d’Oex, travelling along the shore of Lake Geneva before heading up into the beautiful Pays d’Enhaut (High Country) to your hotel. Settle in, and get to know your surroundings, and perhaps wrap up and take a stroll in the pretty village before joining your fellow guests for a Welcome Drink and a get-together before dinner.
Day 2
After breakfast, today, board the coach and travel down through the scenery to the Lake Geneva resort of Montreux. Here, in addition to the shops and stores of this fashionable watering hole, you’ll find a delightful Christmas Market offering an array of locally sourced produce. Wander past the stalls arranged on and around the temporarily named Quai de Noël, or perhaps take the shore-side promenade to Chateau Chillon, one of Switzerland’s most photographed landmarks. You’ll return to Chateau d’Oex and dinner at the hotel, at the end of a wonderful day.
