The scenic Swiss town of Rolle lies southwest of Lausanne on the northwestern shore of Lake Geneva, around 30 kilometers northeast of Geneva. It is situated in the heart of the La Côte wine growing region and boasts stunning views of the Alps. Inhabited since the Bronze Age, today Rolle is a popular destination for travelers from around the world. While here, consider hiring a rental car to provide transportation and the ability to explore autonomously, and be sure to explore the 13th century castle, which lies along the shores of Lake Geneva and now houses the town's public library. Rolle is also a favorite destination for cycling enthusiasts, who can choose from a variety of scenic routes in and around the town itself. In addition, the surrounding vineyards contain a collection of more than 50 varieties of grapes from 13 countries, many of which can be found growing at the foot of the historic Romanesque church in nearby Féchy
