Ever dreamed of hiking through the vineyards along a stunning lake, surrounded by epic mountains? Well, nothing is impossible! Let us tell you where to find it!
SEE ALSO: What to Do in Ticino, Switzerland
Who would have thought, Switzerland would have a place full of vineyards along a giant lake which feels to be almost like a sea? It's unbelievably picturesque and it's time to reveal the name - it is called the Lavaux vineyards! It was a few years ago when we first detected this awesomeness along the Geneva lake! By then, it was only admiring this place out of a train window, but we knew we'll be here one day for sure!
aaand... we made it!
but first..
What are the Lavaux Vineyards?
The Lavaux vineyard area with its 800 hectares is the largest vineyard region in Switzerland! It is so special that it is listed as one of the UNESCO Heritage Sites! With its narrow streets, little picturesque villages, the majestic views over Lake Geneva and the mountains, it attracts many visitors every year. There are plenty of wine degustation events that are worth to pay attention to. The vineyard area can be found all the way between Lausanne and Montreaux. However, the most scenic part, suitable for a hiking trip is a bit shorter. It will be described below.
St. Saphorin is a scenic medieval village with its houses from 16th centuries.
The Hiking Trail
This scenic 3.15 hour-hike through the Lavaux vineyards goes between St. Saphorin and Lutry. The distance is about 11.7 km and it is quite easy with some occasional steep parts in-between. Start at the medieval village called St. Saphorin. Coming by car, there are plenty of parking spots along the lake. Make sure to park somewhere close to the train station of St. Saphorin if you want to come back (after the hike) by train. As already mentioned, there is a train station so everyone who comes by train to the Geneva lake should stop here.
There are many hiking trails towards the direction of Lutry - close to the lake, a bit higher and a panoramic path. Choose one of them or combine them. All are worth it, no matter what!
3.15 hours of walk? Is it too much for you? No problem! It's a bit similar to Cinque Terre with its train stations in-between! So right after St. Saphorin there is a train stop called Rivaz, followed by Epesses, Cully, Villete and then Lutry comes if you want to shorten this hike!
Just for the info on our route. We actually hiked just the part between St. Saphorin and Cully and then returned to St. Saphorin by train.
When to Go
The best time to do the hike is between the months March and November. At the end of June it was nice although quite hot, as this was the time we found ourselves on this hike.
What to Take with You
It is important to be well-prepared for this hike. Make sure to take lots of water with you, a sunhat and some sun creme! If you find yourself here in the middle of the summer, it is good to know that there are a bunch of places to swim along the way, so consider taking a swimsuit with you!

We strolled through the Lavaux vineyards a few years ago and enjoyed it very much. The only downside was, that it was quite difficult to find a place for wine tasting....Cool pictures! Oh, and finally we found an open place for some tasting.

Happy that you did it too! For me, this was one of the most remarkable hikes in Switzerland! I agree about the wine tasting - there were some "stops" that were meant to be for wine tasting but there was nobody there - we thought that's maybe because of the heat ;) Would love to do some tasting!

What time of the year was this hike?

Wow, love your blog. My sister and I are going to be in Lausanne for 2 nights. We are staying at the Tulip Inn. I'm wondering how close the start of the hike is to access the Lauvanne Hike. Any hints would be helpful!

Hi - looks great. We will be in the area in late September and want to do the walk from St Saphorin to Cully (or vice versa). We are staying in Montreux.
I think there are a number of routes. Did you take a particular route?
Thanks for any suggestions.

If you are a fan of hiking then the cave of Pellumbas is perfect for you. It’s a spectacular experience and we would recommend visit it in autumn. Is not far from the capital of Albania but its truly magical. A long beautiful trail through the mountains leads you to the magnificent cave.

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

Do not invest in any trading platform, there is nothing such as get rich quick, it doesn't always end well. I was also a victim to this kind of scam. An Asian girl introduced me to ibitminers and i got really deep into their shit and all i can say is these scammers are good at what they do. I was allowed to withdraw a little amount which i believed was to build my trust but they sucked me dry and i never got my capital after all was said and done. I lost a ton of asset and when i reported to local authorities i was told since crypto is untraceable, there is nothing they can do about it. I couldn't get any help from them until i contracted the service of a professional ethical hacker. He hacked into the eth wallet address i made payment to and retrieved my stolen crypto and he showed me the transaction history of these scammers, I was in shock.

WITH DR ISIKOLO, GETTING BACK WITH YOUR EX IS VERY MUCH POSSIBLE
DR ISIKOLO is none to be compared in regards to having solutions to your relationship or marital problems. My name is Claudia Dirk. I have been battling with depression for a very long time knowing it's as a result of heartbreak when my boyfriend left me for another lady. I never knew he took the decision to be gone from me until months passed and I was unable to reach him. I had to contact DR ISIKOLO when I heard about him. He told me all that was needed to be done to restore the love and connections between me and my man which he did. The result started manifesting after 48 hours as he promised. This may sound weird but it is 100% true that he does not fail anyone. Worry no more and contact him now. email: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196

A revolution in banking has been brought about by the digital era, with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin taking center stage. But there are also risks associated with this emerging field, the most frightening of which being the possibility of losing digital assets. This is when Osecybersailing and it's team steps in like a shining knight, equipped with the formidable weapon of Bitcoin recovery. My valuable Bitcoin was stolen via a technical error, leaving me hopeless. My dreams were almost dashed by the cold reality of irreversible blockchain transactions. However, there was a ray of hope that emerged from the shadows when I came across Osecybersailing and it's team. Equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and years of experience, their team of professionals painstakingly navigated the blockchain maze, following even the smallest digital traces of my misplaced funds. The fact that my Bitcoin appeared, safe and sound, back in my wallet in a very short amount of time was a credit to their commitment and competence. It restored my faith in the security and reliability of the crypto ecosystem. But my testimony is more than just a celebration of Osecybersailing technical abilities. It also serves as a rallying cry for ethical cryptocurrency stewardship.
If you find yourself lost in the depths of lost Bitcoin, facebook Account and Whatsapp hacking to check if your partner is cheating, then let Osecybersailing and it's team guide you towards the light of redemption.
