This "Vidy variant" leads us from the city centre to Vidy (youth hostel or camping) and the following day to Ouchy, where we meet the original route again at the castle.

Author’s recommendation

If we have found accommodation between Orbe and Lausanne, we will still have enough time in the Lausanne area to find suitable accommodation there, provided we have not already found and booked one.
