Back to EpisodesLausanne, Gruyères and Sion: Exploring Switzerland's French-Speaking Region
Description
Switzerland is one of our favorite countries in Europe, and after several trips, we keep finding reasons to go back. This week, we're exploring the French-speaking part of Switzerland, from Lausanne and the shores of Lake Geneva to the mountain villages around Sion and the medieval town of Gruyères.
We're sharing our experiences staying in a chalet high in the Swiss Alps, visiting an underground lake, skiing in Villars-sur-Ollon and relaxing in some of Switzerland's incredible thermal baths, including Leukerbad. We also talk about Swiss wine tasting, fondue in Gruyères and a few memorable experiences along the way.
Of course, Switzerland isn't cheap. We discuss what makes it worth visiting, what to budget for and a few things to know before driving there, including the Swiss motorway vignette.
