By Train

The main villages of the bas-Lavaux are Lutry, Villette, and Grandvaux and service along the line connecting them is frequent. Lausanne has good connections to other major cities of Switzerland, including Geneva, Bern, and Zurich. Most trains run roughly between around 5am and midnight everyday of the week, though the number of trains is somewhat more limited on Sundays and holidays. For details check the website of the Swiss Federal Railway. Regional trains run to many of the smaller towns in the Lavaux, but only those that happen to be along the major lines.

By Boat

One of the nicest ways to spend an afternoon anywhere is to take a boat from the port of Ouchy on the Lakefront of Lausanne or from Vevey or Montreux. Enjoy the terraces which produced it roll by at a leisurely steam-powered pace. It's possible (although a much longer ride) to take the same steamboat all the way from Geneva or Evian. The steamboat ports in the Lavaux include Lutry, Cully, Rivaz, and Vevey.

By car

The Lavaux could make for some nice drives, but this is discouraged. You will miss the best views and the peacefulness of the place if you stay in your car for too long.
