Description: After fully exploring Montreux and its walks, there are still many activities that can occupy your time. The Tourist office has identified six of the most beautiful walks in the Vaudois Riviera, most of them in the mountains above the city. You can get detailed information, including transportation directions and costs, at the Tourist Office -- but here is a brief sketch:
1. The Circuit Botanique, 1 hour 50 minutes, from Les Pleiades down to Lally
2. Haute Route de la Riviera, from Rochers-de-Naye across to Les Pleiades; 6 hours with options to cut into halves of 2 hours 30 minutes and 3 hours 30 minutes
3. The Chemin Panoramique, 2 hours, from Jaman station down to Caux
4. The Chemin Fleuri is the same as the Promenade Fleuri, as noted with its own chapter
5. The Chemin des Narcisses, 1 hour 30 minutes roundtrip from Les Avants
6. Les Gorges du Chauderon, 1 hour 30 minutes, roundtrip up from Les Planches just above Montreux.
For the truly hardy, there is a 32 km, 8 hour 30 minute walk from Ouchy (Lausanne) to the Chateau de Chillon. This walk is called the Vineyard Trail, and it passes through the village of Lutry and the vineyards of wineries Villette, Epresses et Calamin, Dezaley, St Saphorin, and Chardonne before reaching Vevey-Montreux.
