Olympic Museum or Chateau Chillon

Hi,

We're taking the Golden Pass from Interlaken to Montreux - last stop for the evening is Geneva with friends.

Question 1 - On the way to Geneva should we visit the Olympic Museum or Chateau Chillon?

If we visit Chateau Chillon we'll take the train to Geneva. If we visit Olympic Museum - do we have time to take the ferry to Geneva? How long does that typically take?

PS - we plan to get the Swiss pass ;-)

Thanks,

We really liked our visit to Château de Chillon, free with a Swiss pass. It is a nice visit, I think we spent
around 2 hours there. Sorry we did not go
to the Olympic museum, so i can't compare.

Chateau (allow 45 min to visit)is close to Montreux so bus to Chateau and ferry to Lausanne if time permits see Olympic Museum exterior and gardens (easily done) walk to ferry or take transport to train to Geneva.

Chillon by far. Personally, I'd take the local train there (as I recall the station is right next to the castle) and then take the boat back to Lausanne.
