The route runs along the lake shore, passing stately buildings and well-kept public beaches. It then leads up through idyllic countryside, across fields and through charming villages, a route with vineyards above and the lake below. Cycling via Nyon and Rolle, you reach Morges.
After the Olympic capital of Lausanne, you head up the hill to the terraced vineyards of Lauvaux. A tricky passage, but the attractive surroundings of the UNESCO World Heritage Site make up for this. This is followed by the descent to Vevey and Montreux.
