The Via Francigena also passes here, more precisely the bs2 stage from Lausanne to Villeneuve: From Lausanne and the port of Ouchy, you stay close to the lake until Lutry. We then gain altitude to cross the magnificent Lavaux vineyard, listed as a UNESCO heritage site. The view is breathtaking over the lake to the Alps! We then go back down through the town of Vevey to reach the lakeside again and then the town of Montreux.

The Lavaux vineyard terraces are located on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland. They were built by monks in the 12th century and cover approximately 800 hectares. The terraces are built on steep slopes and are supported by stone walls that provide protection against erosion.
The area is known for its beautiful views over Lake Geneva and the Alps, and for the production of quality wines, mainly white wine made from the Chasselas grape. The Lavaux Vineyard Terraces are also included in the UNESCO World Heritage List for their cultural and landscape value.
The terraces are still worked by local winegrowers and the tradition of winemaking has been continued here for centuries. Visitors can explore the Lavaux vineyard terraces via hiking trails and enjoy wine tastings at local wineries. The area attracts many tourists every year who come to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the delicious wines.
