Gstaad Trek

The final stage of the legendary Via Alpina offers a spectacular transition from the serene alpine world of Gstaad to the sun-kissed lakeside town of Montreux on the shores of Lake Geneva. This unforgettable route weaves through lush meadows, dramatic ridgelines, and traditional Swiss villages, offering sweeping views of the Alps, Rochers-de-Naye, and finally, the sparkling expanse of Lac Léman. The trail begins in Gstaad’s elegant mountain setting and leads hikers through the Pays d’Enhaut, a culturally rich region known for its wooden chalets, alpine cheese production, and postcard-worthy landscapes. As the path gradually descends, the climate softens, the flora changes, and the views open up to reveal the vast lake and the Vaud Riviera below.
