The stage leads from the German to the French-speaking region of the country, partly on demanding stretches and single trails. The highlight is the deep-blue Schwarzsee in a rock basin surrounded by rugged cliffs.
Striking Gruyères Castle from the 11th century and the Lac de la Gruyère - the hallmarks of the region - can bee seen close-up on this tour. The route leads around the Moleson, over Alpine meadows and through forest to Les Paccots.
From the tiny ski area of Les Paccots, the route climbs continually to the Col de Soladier and on along an attractive high-level route to Col de Jaman, above Montreux. Then follows a thrilling 1200 metre descent to the shores of Lac Léman.
After a long ascent to Le Soliat, it’s worth making a detour to Creux du Van, a unique, imposing cliff arena. The route continues over the «Balcon Vaudois» (Vaud terrace) with stunning views of Lac de Neuchâtel and the Vaud Alps.
