The Jacobs trail in Switzerland 

The last stages of the Via Jacobi take you from the lovely Fribourg region to the shores of Lake Geneva. The pilgrimage route presents itself idyllically on the first kilometers in the Jorat Nature Park.

Small rivers playfully flow along the way, and the wind whispers in the leaves of this forest. Shortly thereafter, the idyll gives way to the lively hustle and bustle of Lausanne. The promenade leads you out of the city again and now the lake basin lies before you. You pass small castles and market towns until the Jet d'Eau whips up on the horizon and announces the end of your journey in Geneva.

Itinerary

Luggage drop-off in Romont. The stage of the ViaJacobi, which connects Romont with Moudon, is dotted with beautiful viewpoints. It does not present any particular difficulties. The peculiarity of these two small towns: once they both belonged to the Duke of Savoy.

Along the Broye river, you reach a bridge area in Bressonnaz, where both the Broye and the Carrouge river are crossed. The crete path to Vucherens gives a view of the Fribourg Alps and the forest area of the Jorat.

In Lausanne, the ViaJacobi leads from Notre Dame Cathedral down the Escaliers du Marché. In Vidy, it crosses an idyllic park with Roman ruins and then follows the shore of Lake Geneva as a popular promenade all the way to Morges.

Caesar founded Nyon, Madame de Staël's salon in Coppet was a meeting place for intellectuals, and to this day the rich and famous love Lac Léman. As a pilgrim, you can reflect on this or simply enjoy the charming landscape.

This hike leads through villages with a French atmosphere to the cosmopolitan city of Geneva. The highlight and conclusion is the impressive St. Pierre Cathedral. St. James in the magnificent stained glass window wears a purple cloak with ermine trim. After arrival in Geneva individual departure.

Tour character

Topographically and from the trail conditions very easy. What makes the tour difficult are the long stages. However, since the tour passes through the small villages and towns on the shores of Lake Geneva, the hikes can be shortened relatively easily by public transport.
