Hint

Intro

This trail takes you along the heights of the Montreux Riviera, through its forests, clearings, most renowned passes and panoramic routes. It offers a beautiful outlook over the Montreux Riviera and is a thrill for experienced mountain bikers.

Description

The tour begins with a long climb up to the Col de Soladier. A sublime bike ride awaits you as you follow the contours of the Alps, particularly along the Chaine des Verraux, which appears as if suspended between the lake and the mountains. Upon arrival at the Col de Soladier, the path meanders peacefully to the highest point of the tour. A stop-off here is a must to admire the breathtaking views over the Vallon d'Orgevaux, the lake, the Riviera and the Lavaux vineyards.

From here, you cycle over rolling hills all the way to Plan Châtel where a stunning downhill ride alternates on tracks and roads until you arrive at Bains de l'Alliaz. At the Dent de Jaman, a tarmacked track with views over the lake and surrounding area meets a path which leads to the legendary Scex que Plliau and Baie de Clarens. The last part of the tour is a climb on asphalt, tracks and paved roads ending at Avants.

An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
