Hello,
Could anyone suggest interesting places to visit in Switzerland (Geneva / Vaud / Vallais / Fribourg) or France (Rhône-Alpes) during not-so-nice autumn weekends?
Type of trip: hiking, sightseeing, local food-tasting, etc.

Here are few places I have already seen or plan to see(maybe will be of use to someone):
- Genève area (CERN, UN, Botanical Garden, Old City, La Saleve, Le Reculet, Satigny vignobles)
- Lausanne (Old City)
- Monterux (Château de Chillon, Freddy monument, haven't been to Roche de Naye yet)
- Annecy (Cathedral, old town, lakeside)
- Romainmôtier
- Yverdon-Les-Bains (and Sainte-Croix)
- Barrage de la Grande-Dixence
- Lac d'Emosson
- Col du Grand-Saint-Bernard
- Furka Pass

- Gruyères - plan to see
- Yvoire - plan to see

There's plenty of info on the forum already. Example:

And all this was from a search for "Valais" on just two pages. Haven't tried any of the other places you were after ...

Thanks, somehow I find searching for tourism information pretty annoying and not that fruitful.

Hi, I find this page form SBB super useful:
