Le Bouveret to Lausanne where she now connects into sister PS Rhône for Geneva

(twenty five years ago she would have sailed all the way to Geneva and back !)

perhaps so attention could be concentrated on PS Montreux first ?
After the same sailing on Tuesday 26th September she will spend 48 hours
at Ouchy Dock undertaking pre-winter maintenance
prior to operating
SIX days a week out of Lausanne from the start of the winter timetable

ashore,  the paddle steamer sets off across the lake to Varenna on sailing 214

She is later seen setting off from Lecco on the outward leg of a special "fill in"

The Paddle Steamer calls at Morat/Murten before returning to Neuchâtel

) or if there is another explaination ?

The paddle steamer calla at Nyon on her final sailing 101 from Lausanne to Geneva
in wet and windy weather - ironically it was warm and sunny the previois day

It took over 20 years after her re-conversion back to steam before she operated
a public timetable sailing west of Yviore - which she did for just two weeks

From tomorrow she takes over the Lausanne baased Upper Lake Roster

Could it be another 20 years before she visits Nyon and Geneva again ?

other ships (left had caught her up and were waiting to use the pier !

By sailing 74 she had clawed back some time and she is now

With her larger sister (PS Simplon) undertaking a charter,  the paddle steamer
stepped up to cover her sailing from Geneva to Lausanne and return

She normally only sails in the Petit Lac
(Little Lake) so to see her calling
at Morges on the return sailing 105 is a rare treat

Sunday - 10th September 2023

already been planned they will be replaced by a motor vessel on specific dates
(eg for private charters or special events or
breakdowns)
or there is a breakdown, etc
