Top Trekking & Hiking Spots in Canton of Vaud

Check out the local transport options. The trains are super efficient for getting to and from the region and you can save time instead of driving and hunting for parking.

Don't skip the wine tastings! They have fantastic local wines, and many wineries offer tastings by the glass. Just don't drink too much if you plan on hiking back!

Start your hike in the early morning, around 8 AM. The temperature is cooler, and you can enjoy the beautiful sunrise over the vineyards without the crowds. Trust me, it's worth it!

If you’re not sure about the trail difficulty, check out user reviews for recent updates. Some trails can be trickier than they look; I got surprised by sudden steep sections where I expected an easy stroll.

Start your hike early, around 7 AM, to catch the stunning sunrise over the Alps. It makes for an epic photo op and you’ll have the trail mostly to yourself!

Pack a picnic breakfast. The local cafes can be pricey, and there's nothing better than enjoying some fresh bread and cheese while overlooking those gorgeous views.

Bring some snacks and water because food at the restaurants up there can get pricey. I regretted not having packed a picnic, especially since the spots for chilling are so beautiful

I suggest taking the train to the top instead of hiking all the way up; it's a real time-saver and you'll have more energy for the trails at the summit. Plus, the views from the train are pretty stunning!

Take the train to Rochers de Naye in the morning around 9 AM to beat the crowds. The views are stunning and you'll have plenty of space for photos before the afternoon rush hits.

Pack a light lunch and plenty of water for the hike. There aren't many places to grab food up there, and you'll want to save your euros for the fun stuff, like the cheese tasting at the top!
