Roadbook

The steep ascent to Fayaux can be overcome with the cogwheel railroad, before continuing on to Les Mossettes and the Marais des Tenasses. Les Pléiades offers a wonderful view of Lake Geneva and the surrounding Alps. In May, hikers can admire a beautiful white carpet of daffodils here.

You reach the Pont de Fégire bridge through a beautiful forest. This crosses the Veveyse de Fégire river, which forms the border between the cantons of Fribourg and Vaud. From La Tornare, due to a diversion, follow the La Tornare – La Saira – Les Paccots walking trail (Tour de Corbetta through the forest). This varied route takes you through the forest and adds around 40 minutes to your walking time.
