OVERVIEW
Burn some calories with a picturesque hike from Vevey to Chardonne (422 m). Grab an eBike (or bring your own) and climb to the top of Mont Pelerin for expansive, panoramic views of Lac Leman (another 722 m) and an apèro for some energy before lunch.
Wind down the other side of Mont Pèlerin to Bossonnens and stop off at Boss Beer for a tour & tasting.
Return to Mont Pèlerin through rolling hills and fields to descend back to Vevey in the funicular (cable car).
Highlights
- Views of Lac Leman from terraced vineyards of the Lavaux region and Mont Pelerin.
- Experience scenic, preAlp Swiss villages and landscape.
- Tour and tasting of a craft brewery.
