Chexbres is a charming village perched on a hillside high above Lake Geneva, surrounded by the UNESCO-listed Lavaux vineyard terraces. The village offers spectacular panoramic views across the lake to the French Alps, with steep vineyard paths winding down to the water. Traditional wine cellars, family wineries, and the village church create a picturesque ensemble. The train station sits dramatically among the vines, making Chexbres easily accessible while maintaining peaceful character. This combination of elevated views, world-class wine terraces, and village charm makes Chexbres a Lavaux highlight.
