Hiking holidays Via Alpina Vaud
Hiking: Via Alpina
The last section of the Via Alpina offers something for everyone. Peak climbers are delighted with challenging passages such as the Trüttlisbergpass and the sight of the proud Vaud peaks.
Arrival to Lenk
Lenk – Gstaad
Luggage drop-off in Lenk. From Lenk over gentle alpine meadows, up into the lynx territory, through a damp limestone area with a wide horizon. Over the Trüttlisberg Pass and through the long Turbach Valley with its varied history down to sophisticated Gstaad.
Gstaad – L'Etivaz
A panoramic high-altitude trail, past the Berghaus Eggli and the lime-cart area of Wilde Bode to the language border at Col de Jable. Many traditional Alpine huts with large shingle roofs and Chupferchessi (Copper pot) cheese production high above L'Etivaz.
L' Etivaz – Rossinière
The gently sloping route follows the torrent "La Torneresse" for several kilometres until it reaches the valley of the Gorges du Pissot. Then the landscape offers a view of the large valley of the Pays-d'Enhaut. After Châteaux-d'Oex the descent leads to Rossinière.
From Rossinière over a bridge from 1650 to the Col de Solomon. After the descent into the Hongrin Valley, climb to the Col de Chaude with its fantastic view of Lake Geneva. Continue uphill to the stop of the Rochers de Naye rack railway.
Departure or extension
Tour character
The last section of the Via Alpina is also demanding. You should not underestimate the first and last stages in particular. Good basic fitness is required. But you are hiking on an altitude which is less as on the section in the Bernese Oberland. Sure-footedness is still necessary.
