On the the first photo showing La Tour-de-Peilz in the foreground, on lower right corner you see the HQ of Nestle Switzerland. The port of La Tour-de-Peilz (mainly sailing ships but also motor yachts) is close to where we live. There is a large whitish building with a yellowish dot to the left, that is our building. The large one is Nestle’s International Training Center Rive Reine. In the back you see the long viaduct of the expressway running down towards Villeneuve at the end of Lake Geneva.
The 2 ‘ horns’ above the viaduct are called “Les Tours d’Ai”; the highest mountain top too the right is the “Rochers de Naye” which you can rach by cog-wheel train from Montreux, situated on the thrid peninsula with a high white tower (a hotel). The ‘tooth’ to the left is called the “Dent de Jaman”, an excellent rock for climbers.
