The 50 most beautiful places in Vaud

The picturesque hamlet of Taveyanne lies in the Vaud Alps above Gryon at the heart of a nature reserve. It comprises around 30 shingle-roofed Alpine huts on the open pastureland and which are now used as second homes.

The sunny winegrowing village of Saint-Saphorin lies on the shore of Lake Geneva, nestled among the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Le Pont is located in an idyllic setting at the eastern end of Lac de Joux, with water to the fore and a breathtaking hilly landscape to the rear.

Romainmôtier is a charming village in a secluded location on the Nozon river and is home to what is probably the oldest monastery in Switzerland. It can be found between two forested hills and gently nestled into the surroundings.

Rougemont is best known for its castle and its traditional farmhouses. The small village lies at the eastern end of the Pays-d’Enhaut and follows the course of the River Saane.
