I plan to take the earliest boat across Lake Geneva (having spend the previous night in Geneva), to Montreux, to visit the Cheateau de Chillion. Could anybody suggest where can I find the timetables and duration of the trip? I will buy a eurailpass so the ferry trip is supposedly free of charged.
If possible, has anybody taken the ferry ride before? Could you describe it please? I imagine this picturesque scene in my mind over and over again. Could we catch sight of the Alps on the lake?

Same as for trains:

You need to click on "Advanced search" to get the boat options, otherwise it gives you the fastest, which will be the train. You will spend about 4 1/2 hours on the boat, but depending on the time of year you may have to add in a fair bit of wait time to that, because most boats don't cover that whole distance. It's worth checking around for a train/boat combo if you're planning to do the lake and the castle in the same day.
Yes the boat trip offers a gorgeous view of the alps unless it's a horribly foggy day, in which case don't bother; hang out in the castle (it's a very cool castle!) longer.
