From Vevey the route follows the lake to Villeneuve. The Swiss Museum of Games in the castle at Tour-de-Peilz and famous Schloss Chillon are worth a visit before you reach the Chablais wine region.
The route leaves Aigle via the vineyard, reaches Gryonne and later the Rhone, which it crosses at Massongex, the ancient capital of Celtic Valais. Once in St. Maurice, the pilgrim has already covered exactly half the distance from Canterbury to Rome.
