Leysin – Experience the alpes vaudoises

Round trip with variety – alpine forest, green meadows and – of course – a breathtaking view of the Lac Léman region and the alpes vaudoises.

  • Starting point: Carrière des Chamois
  • End point: Carrière des Chamois
  • Length: 6.5km
  • Duration: 2h30
  • Ascending altitude: 535m
  • Descending altitude: 535m

Start the hike from the small car park Carrière des Chamois. Take the path that goes slightly upwards following the signs to La Riondaz. At some point, the path to La Riondaz separates from the road and goes into the forest. Follow the zigzag path to the top and enjoy the view of Lac Léman. For the descent, take the same path you came up from until you see the signs that guide you to Prafandaz and finally back to the car park. You prefer numbers over names? Follow the number 7 on the signs.

Hint: Stop on your way down at the Refuge de Solacyre to enjoy a cool drink and a beautiful view on the terrasse.
