拉沃葡萄园梯田

从Chexbres村走到Riva这一路的景色非常美,拉沃葡萄园的景色远远比加州的葡萄园要美得多(不要打我哦),巍峨的山峰与深蓝的湖水相映成趣,绝对是世界十大美景之一!我们是从右边走的,一直走到Cully小镇。走路不难,可是身体不好的话还是不容易,因为还得走回Chexbres村呢。如果你喜欢走路,就在这里呆一周吧!给大家提个建议,坐小火车(或者开车)到Blonay镇,然后步行/坐火车去到Pleiedes梯田的最高处,不论从哪个角度看,那儿的景色都超美。这段路有点陡峭,最好坐小火车到山顶附近的小站Lally,然后再根据车站附近的路线走上去。酒店餐厅Les-Sapins就在车站对面,位于梯田上,从周三到周六都有午餐供应,餐点是典型的奶酪餐。深入了解这个地区:如果你开车(我觉得这更靠谱,因为火车票太贵了!),可以开到Le Col de Jaman(请看地图)附近,然后步行至Dent de Jaman。这条路岩石嶙峋,可是风景也格外美丽,能够看到悬崖缝中绽放的火绒草,这可是瑞士稀有的哦!大家可以看看我们徒步Les Avants 村、Son Loup 和Les Dents du Midi的照片:www.les-sapins.ch。我还可以说好多呢(20年来我每年夏天都会来Blonay度假),我想说的就是Les-Sapins酒店是我见过的最可爱的酒店了!它坐落在山上,景色超美,延绵不绝,让人心旷神怡。酒店老板Agnes Mazur能说一口流利的英文,人也热情好客,乐于助人。房间有套房,大厅有卫生间。这样的地方价格也不菲,每晚1400元,不过瑞士的物价本来就很贵。住7晚的话只需要付5晚的房费,平均下来每晚差不多1000元左右。这里是徒步爱好者的天堂,到处都是未经污染的群山,一边的危险的都有,从薇薇(Vevey,很浪漫的名字吧)过来才20分钟,还有香醇的当地美酒,太赞了!

来蒙特勒我最爱的事情就是漫步在拉沃葡萄园,它位于洛桑和蒙特勒之间的湖泊的山上。要来这里可以从薇薇坐火车,然后坐"葡萄酒列车"到察布斯,走一段就到山下了。察布斯是个很可爱的镇子,那儿有个很大的Migros百货商店(瑞士零售巨头),还有几家酒店和很多餐厅。离开察布斯的时候,你会看见葡萄园从山上至上而下一直到湖边,有很多徒步的路线,随便挑一个走好了。沿途有很多休息的地方,你会看见很多大大的信息牌,上面画有葡萄,还有关于这种葡萄制成的葡萄酒的详细介绍,还有葡萄园主人的信息呢,全程大概有32公里。不一会儿,你就会看葡萄镇Rivaz的红色屋顶了,这里道路纵横交错,还有个造型诡异的酒窖。一般我会在湖对面的Auberge du Rivaz餐厅吃顿饭,那儿有个露台,能俯瞰美丽的湖泊。从Rivaz往左就是St Saphorin小镇,也可以去码头乘船去蒙特勒。湖边小镇Cully位于洛桑的东边,风景如画。推荐两个餐厅:Auberge du Raisin和Au Major Davel。另一个湖边小镇Lutry位于洛桑往东3公里的地方,这里有个中世纪建筑之旅,很不错哦,还有可以品味美酒的酒窖。

The Lavaux Vineyards are one of the most stunning and breathtaking places in Switzerland, and my personal favourite. The beauty of the place is so great it makes you feel it is almost unreal. Definitely bring your camera along, there are so many opportunities to take postcard-perfect pictures to remember such a stunning place.Absolutely great to visit during summer, but if you happen to have the chance to be there during autumn when the colour of the leaves start changing... WOW.

Walking through the Lavaux Wine Terraces is one of the most beautiful trails in Switzerland, and very easy to do. Don't go expecting souvenir shops or huge tour buses - this attraction is really about walking through miles of vineyards, enjoying stunning views, and stopping for tastings and food. Great for anyone who loves to walk.My sister and I took the train from Geneva to the little lakeside town of St. Saphorin (takes about one hour with a switch in Lausanne), and left from there. If you made no stops, it would be 11.7 kilometers (about 3h15) to walk the trail going west to the town of Lutry, but we kind of designed our own route and spent the whole day walking and exploring. One thing to note is that you could combine this with a boat ride (check the CGN website for schedules) instead of a train if you wanted. The boat schedules didn't work out for us, but there would be more options in the summer.From St. Saphorin we walked straight up to the hillside town of Chexbres. We were looking for a restaurant/lounge called Le Deck, which turned out to be closed for the winter, but really you almost can't go wrong in terms of views anyway. We enjoyed the vistas, took lots of pictures of the vines with fall colors and snow-topped mountains in the background, and then walked back down to the lakeside town of Rivaz. There, we had lunch at the Auberge de Rivaz (try the filets de perche!) and had a wine tasting + free movie at the Vinorama. We then got back on the trail and hiked to Cully, where we caught the train back to Lausanne and on to Geneva.It's important to know that there are a bunch of trails, and they're not always super-precisely marked. As long as you follow the yellow arrow and stay on the actual paths (which are wide and paved everywhere), you'll be absolutely fine. We kind of just decided to be flexible in where we wandered to, and since we knew we generally wanted to head west, just kept going in that general direction. The walk gets quite steep in some places, but you could also do shorter, flatter portions of it for a less-challenging hike. There are plenty of wine cellars along the way, and while we didn't stop at any for tastings, quite a few of them did appear to be open on a Saturday afternoon.I've spent 16 years living in Geneva, and was sort of embarrassed I'd never hiked in Lavaux before. Absolutely worth doing on a sunny day!

Very impressive to see all of the vineyards in the hillside facing Lake Leman and the Alps. The view is awesome. We took the scenic train "Lavaux Express", from Cully to Chexbres, a very scenic little path through the vineyards and found ourselves traveling between the wine grapes. The area is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. When I was young I was helping there with the wine harvest and I enjoyed it very much.

If you are starting from Lausanne (that being the nearest big terminal reachable by rail from any other Swiss city), take the short haul train from Lausanne to this small place called Pully. Step outside the railway platform and start walking keeping the lake look on your right. Everything from then on is beautiful, in fact 'beautiful' would be an under-statement for some of the views you will find from certain bends and corners.Keep walkin as much as you can. Trained hikers sometime walk all the way till Saint-Saphorin (takes 4 hours), what you could at least do is walk till Cully. Don't stay too close to the lake every time, as in that case you lose out on the views of the terraced vineyards sloping towards the lake - so keep at a height.And of course, don't forget to stop by for wine-tasting, prcessed from local vineyards of the Lavaux trail.The vineyards overlooking the lake, which in turn overlooks the Alps on the South; On a bright sunny day it could be that perfectly aesthetic concoction to get you intoxicated - in case you already are not from the smell and taste of the wine.

I came to the place by tour. Walking around the residential area, the wine field is spread along the lake. The place is not sightseeing place but agricultural place. I could not find souvenir shops around there.

Visited Lavaux, Had a video taking us through the whole process of growing to drinking. Then we had 3 glasses of wine to try, light white wine (very nice), slightly stronger and more mature white wine (even nicer) and then a rose, which was also nice. Were made very welcome.

If you arrive Montreux from the Geneva Airport by train sit at the left and admire the beauty of the Lavaux Terrasses. You will certainly want to see them closer or wander around. Montreux has a very good bus network and the tourists residing at Montreux hotels receive a free travel card (the Riviera Card). We took the bus 213 from Vevey Gare and went up to Châtel-St-Denis and Bossonnens, via Les Terrasses Lavaux. We did not descend but there are stops for those who wish to visit the vineyards. The route up to Bossonnes is beautiful, a typical Swiss mountain paysage! At one point (I think it was Bossonnes) the bus arrived a small train station from where it is possible to go to Gruyere. The bus routes can be printed from the VMCV official site.

After spending one afternoon walking along these vineyards, we came back the next day for the lovely views of the terraced vineyards with the lake in the background!On the second day, we thought that it would be a good idea to go off the beaten path and just wander around. This was a bad idea -- there were parts of the vineyards that are not pedestrian friendly at all. Additionally, we went on a Monday, so we didn't find a single place open for wine-tasting.It was hot along the path since there isn't shade and we went in July -- so definitely dress accordingly and bring some sun block.I highly recommend that you visit this place, but check out some of the guide books for the right foot paths and go on a weekend (or call ahead for wine tastings).

I have been going to the Lavaux Terrasses for many years, and absolutely love everything about the area...the beautiful vignobles, the splendor of Lac Leman, the majestic views of the French Alps, and the spectacular wines & food! Go off the beaten path, and roam - there are no wrong ways to go! *note* bring some plastic wine goblets with you, so that you may drink whilst walking & not worry about breaking glass.Great for a trip with friends & loved ones - especially during the Montreux Jazz festival & Festival de la Cite (in Lausanne - just marvelous!), and of course, during harvest ;)I would not recommend bringing children if you want to enjoy the vineyards, however, if you have small children, do take them to Lutry Plage, Chateau Chillon, Gruyeres, et al...

We walked part of the "Terrasses de Lavaux" signposted walk from Lutry to Rivaz. As soon as you step off the train at Lutry the views over the lake are breathtaking. We walked through the vineyards, following the yellow direction signs to Rivaz. Along the way there are many brown signs showing the vineyard wineries, many of which are open for wine tasting. Check which wineries are open beforehand on montreuxriviera.com, it has a downloadable brochure of the wine cellars along the route. There are also a few benches along the way where you can stop for a rest or a picnic. We walked this route on a hot and sunny afternoon and there is not much shade however there are many drinking fountains to refill your water bottle along the way. All in all, a fantastic afternoon out: the terraced vineyards are beautiful and the views of the lake are spectacular! Definitely not to be missed if staying in the area!

If you like stunning lake & vineyard views, challenging bike routes, rich regional history, or wineries & wine, then the Lavaux area is where you have to go! Best time to visit is form early spring to late autumn when the vines have leaves, adding to the atmosphere. To get an expression, check out my photos!

Very impressive to see all of the vineyards in the hillside facing Lake Leman and the Alps. The view is awesome. We took the scenic train, unfortunately there was no guide but we had a visitor on the train that explained everything to us.

We took a little train from Vevey to Chexbres. Charming little town! From there we walked down a VERY scenic little path through the vineyards to St Saphorin. It was simply BEAUTIFUL! We could see the terraced vineyards stretching out in both directions (30 km!) and understood why this area has been protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We did this walk under overcast skies and light rain, yet we LOVED it! I can only imagine how beautiful this area looks on bright sunshiny days with deep blue skies reflected in the lake and the green, green stretches of terraced vineyards!
