Bicycle tours through a vineyard in Vaud

This itinerary lets cyclists discover the region’s typical sceneries: the lake, the vineyards, the countryside and the Jura foothills.

This marked itinerary crosses the beautiful Broye valley and leads along its lakes. Visitors will discover historical sites such as Payerne and its Romanesque abbey church, Avenches and its Roman vestiges, not to mention the medieval town Estavayer-le-Lac.

After the Olympic capital of Lausanne, the route leads uphill into the terraced vineyards of Lauvaux. A bracing section but one rewarded by the wonderful surroundings of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. Then follows the descent to Vevey, Montreux and the romantic Schloss Chillon.

This circuit offers magnificent vantage points of Lake Neuchâtel. Between Grandson and Concise, it crosses the Bonvillars vineyard and countless characterful villages.

From Payerne following the slow-flowing Broye, through wide rolling countryside, the granary of western Switzerland. To the west of the Venoge, carefully-tended vineyards lace a pleasing pattern in the landscape, a refreshing white wine thrives in La Côte.

Atypical bike itinerary on which you will behold the Lavaux terraced vineyards and the more hilly countryside just inland. Interesting discovery of small roads leading through fields and forests.

Above the terraced La Côte vineyards, below on the lake the market towns of Morges, Rolle, Nyon. Open shore becomes rarer, villas and yachts larger, soon cosmopolitan Geneva greets us with boulevards and its 140m-high water fountain «Jet d'eau».

This itinerary along the Orbe plain and the Jura foothills offers the opportunity to have a break in a bucolic setting between vintners' villages and charming hamlets with the extraordinary panorama of the Alps in the background.

Lac Léman, a small silver sea surrounded by snowy summits and vineyards, e.g. UNESCO World Heritage Lavaux. Along the shores: Vevey, Montreux, and the metropolis of Lausanne, «Olympia City» and nerve centre of the people of Vaud

A countryside with streams flowing in deep clefts taxes the calves, castles, medieval towns and the silver sea of Lac Léman lighten the spirits, the juice of sun-kissed grapes and Malakoff cheese specialities pamper the palate.

The first stage of the Heart Route leads from Lausanne to Romont. The 50-kilometer route is the perfect introduction to E-Bike adventures.
