An eastern-shore day
Anchor the day with Chillon near Montreux, then choose shore time or a Lavaux stop around Cully and Grandvaux. A booked tasting needs its own arrival plan. [2]

The choices that matter
Make the journey fit
Geneva is another base
A Geneva hotel fits city time and western-lake departure logistics. Do not assume it gives a short local connection to every eastern-shore outing. [2]
The elevated stays change the journey
Glion and Caux are above Montreux. Choëx and Les Cerniers are inland above Monthey. Check the final ascent and luggage arrangements rather than treating all five hotels as lakefront. [2]
