Taveyanne Hamlet

Highlight • Settlement

We almost have the impression that we are going to see Heidi, Peter or the grandfather in the corner of a chalet.
Houses with sloping roofs. 🚰 Drinking fountain. Picnic table. And the start of a nice little single.

Lac de Bretaye

Highlight • Lake

You can completely circle the small lake on a footpath, enjoying the view of the water and the green mountains that surround it. The lake is located at 1,780 meters below the Le Chamossaire.

Beautiful lake ride

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

The three lakes that span this plateau are a very scenic spot to cycle by. It's recommended to cycle from south to north for better views!

Villars-sur-Ollon Train Station

Highlight • Rest Area

Station on the very interesting railway line from Bex via Villars to Col de Bretaye, the latter section as a rack railway.
All meter-gauge narrow-gauge railways.
