Museum

The Museum Fort de Chillon is a historical military fortress located on the shores of Lake Geneva, near the famous Château de Chillon in Switzerland. Built in the 20th century, the fort was part of Switzerland's national defense strategy during World War II and the Cold War. Hidden inside the mountain, it remained top secret until 2001. Today, it is a museum offering guided tours through underground tunnels, command centers, and soldiers' quarters. Visitors can learn about Switzerland's military neutrality, engineering ingenuity, and life inside the fort during wartime. Interactive exhibits, authentic equipment, and dramatic audiovisual displays make history come alive in a unique alpine setting.
