Eau-Froide River Mole | ||
From this mole of the marina, where we enjoy a superb view of the whole Haut-Lac ("Upper Lake"), our stroll takes you along the lakeshore to the west of Vevey. A walk of more than 5 miles along a Lake Léman (Lake of Geneva) with ever-changing colors, in a spectacular nest of mountains. | ||
Ouchettaz Mole | ||
The first mole of the marina, beside the park of Ouchettaz, offers a spectacular view of the Haut-Lac (Upper Lake). Here, Lake Léman looks like an ocean, joining the sky on the horizon. | ||
Place de la Gare | ||
This building which resembles a church is in fact the Town Hall. It is also the information point of the Tourist Office. | ||
Port Arthur | ||
Here we are in front of the tiny harbour nestled beside the boat dock. Just enough room for eight small boats... The real marina is further on the lake promenade, at the end of Quai Grand'Rive, beside the mouth of Eau-Froide River. | ||
Port de l´Ouchettaz | ||
At the end of Quai Grand'Rive, the marina of Villeneuve is protected behind moles which offer superb panoramic views of Lake Léman (Lake Geneva). | ||
