"DON'T STOP ME NOW"
MOUNTAINS, LAKE and .....PALM TREES
32 KM AND 1’900 M D+
Since 2017, you may be familiar with the MXSKY, a sort of Sierre-Zinal à la Vaudoise? This new Crossing Riviera is the younger sister, full of character and exceptional panoramas while retaining similar characteristics over around 32km.
After the climb through the old town of Montreux, which precedes the 1,055 steps of the Telegraph path, head for the Dent de Jaman and then the Naye steps, where you might just reach... Nirvana: the Rochers de Naye at almost 2,000m. One of Switzerland's best-known views over Lake Geneva. We'll give you a few minutes to admire it before continuing your journey.
After the breath-taking and exotic Gorges du Chauderon, a new route will take you to the beach of Clarens a lake, musical and fulfilling finale. And now you can take your well-deserved plunge into the water of Lac Léman.
