excursions
For the sunny days, some suggestions of hikes in beautiful landsapes and of strolls in picturesque villages...
Avants (Les)
A pretty village in the Heights of Montreux, at an altitude of 1,000 meters. Situated on the MOB narrow-gauge railway line, it is the gateway to Pays-d'Enhaut (Vaud Prealps).
Bret (Lac de)
A small lake in Jorat, the hinterland above Lavaux, a real nice place for a walk between water and forest...
Gorges du Chauderon
Only a few minutes away from Montreux Old Town, a wild track along the Baye river, a cool hike during hot summer days. Many hikes possible, up to Les Avants and beyond.
Pléiades (Les)
A summit above Blonay, with beautiful panoramas. An ideal place for hikes in summer and cross-country skiing in winter.
Rochers-de-Naye (Les)
High above Montreux, 2,045m over the sea, only reachable by train or trek, a unique mountain paradise and starting point for many spectacular hikes. Breathtaking panoramas over lake and hinterland.
Saint-Saphorin
Probably the most picturesque winegrowers' village of Lavaux, an absolute must-see: narrow lanes, archways, and vineyards all around.
Villard (Vallon de)
Above Montreux, on the other side of the mountain overlooking Les Avants to the west, the beautiful Villard Valley is a perfect place for hikes and, in May, to see incredible fields of narcissus.
