Accessible holidays in Aigle (district)

On this short and very easy hike, Lake Geneva is always very close. It is a leisurely walk from Montreux to the famous Chillon Castle and then on to the town of Villeneuve.

At the western door of the Alps lies a small but interesting vineyard. At the center stands the city of Aigle dominated by its castle. The reputation of the village of Yvorne goes way beyond Switzerland. The dominant local grape is the white Chasselas. The Chablais region is very picturesque and offers a lovely trail and many places to stop and taste the local wines.

Walk on the south slope, then southeast of the Pointe de La Palette  at the crossing of the Col de Voré 1920m... this walk starts on the shores of Lac Retaud 1700m near Col du Pillon to reach the shores of Lac d'Arnon 1542m. This lake is fed by the Tschärzisbach which drains a slope of 7 km². From the lake... sustained climb on a gravel road to the Arnon window 1900m... Pas de Clé, Pas de Saxième, Col de Seron 2153m to finish the long descent facing the Diablerets massif back to the starting point... Lac Retaud!
