A local collaboration for authentic content
To ensure high-quality content, we had the pleasure of collaborating with Montreux-Vevey Tourisme and Lavaux Patrimoine mondial, who contributed to the creation of the texts and the selection of illustrations. Their expertise allowed us to highlight Lavaux as a living cultural landscape, rich in stories and traditions.
Swiss technology enhancing your journey
We worked with the Lausanne-based company NexSwiss to bring the best of innovation to this project through the CityTourPlayer system — an intelligent solution that automatically synchronizes audio content with the bus route using geolocation. Three languages (French, English, and German) were recorded by professional voice actors, while the Italian and Chinese versions use advanced AI-powered voice technology.
