The Lavaux vineyard, from Grandvaux to Cully

The walk takes you from Grandvaux to Cully and lasts about two hours and a half. You’ll enjoy a stunning panorama over the vineyards and the lake.

When you leave the train (departing from Lausanne), take the subway under the tracks. At the top of the stairs, continue straight on along the platform. After fifty or so paces, take the flight of steps down to the left. You will soon cross a road (be careful, visibility is reduced, use the mirror) and continue going straight down the Rite-à-Joyeux.

Remember that the Lavaux vineyard is a protected and fragile site, here are some recommendations to preserve it

Take a walk through some of the most beautiful scenery in Switzerland: the UNESCO-listed Lavaux vineyard terraces are criss-crossed with marked trails with stunning views over Lake Geneva and the Alps. Little trains on wheels help you up the incline so you can enjoy a walk at your own pace.
