Puidoux is located northeast of Lake Geneva near Lausanne in a wide valley hollow of the Vaud Plateau. The village is known for its wine growing on the slopes of the UNESCO World Heritage Lavaux. Puidoux is suitable for long walks through the wine-growing areas and along Lake Geneva. The Mont de Gourze (924 m a.s.l.) borders the valley basin of Puidoux in the west, the Mont Pèlerin (1080 m a.s.l.) in the east. Mont Pèlerin is accessed by a funicular railroad. From the television tower standing on the summit, a magnificent view of the panorama of Lake Geneva and the Alps can be seen. (Photo Puidoux-Lavaux: Switzerland Tourism)
