  • Sentier du Sel

    13 km · +774 m

    De Sentier du Sel — het "pad van het witte goud" — slingert aan de voet van de Vaudse Alpen door gehuchten, bossen, weiden en wijngaarden en volgt de geschiedenis van de zoutwinning. Ongeveer 30 minuten vanaf het beginpunt bij Plambuit markeert het dorp Salins de plek waar in de 15e eeuw de eerste zoute bron werd ontdekt, en de route volgt de originele pijpleiding van lariks hout die het water ooit door het dal naar beneden voerde.

  • Tour des Alpes Vaudoises Étape 6

    17.7 km · +1536 m

    The route crosses the historic Trechadèze, where violent clashes erupted in 1978 between the Ormonans and the Vaud republic, before climbing to the Col de la Croix, where centuries of erosion have carved gypsum pyramids into striking geological formations.

  • Tour des Alpes Vaudoises Étape 2

    16.7 km · +1243 m

    From Leysin, the route threads through forests and pastures to Les Fers before climbing to the Tour de Famelon summit at 2138m, with views stretching across Lac de l'Hongrin, the Dents du Midi, and the Dent de Corjon. The path then passes the Pierre du Moëllé and its geological formations before descending via Mont d'Or to Les Mosses.
