Schon in der Frühzeit war die Felseninsel zwischen dem Genfersee und den steil aufragenden Bergen bewohnt. Von hier wurde jahrhundertelang der Schiffsverkehr auf dem Genfersee und der bedeutende Landweg zum St.Bernhard-Pass beherrscht. Vom 12. bis ins 16. Jahrhundert gehörte Chillon den Grafen von Savoyen, dann eroberten die Berner die Wasserburg, danach die Waadtländer. Über 300’000 Besucher besichtigen pro Jahr Chillon mit den Wandmalereien aus dem 14.

Napf-Bike-Marathon

Mountain biking – Bike Marathon to the Napf Mountain, which expands to panoramic vistas

At the meeting point, where Emmental, Entlebuch and Oberaargau come together, you will find the pulpit of the Napf Mountain, a marvelous vantage point. Although neither a road nor a train leads up to the Napf summit, this is a very busy region in the summertime. Hikers, bikers, trekkers, and walkers converge upon the mountain inn. This is not surprising, because the panorama extends from the Jura in the north up to the Bernese Oberland in the south, and as far as the Alps of Central Switzerland in the southeast. The many rock faces of the Entlebuch Mountain form a stunning backdrop of austere beauty.
