Round trip Vaud Alps

The jagged peaks of Les Diablerets that tower majestically over the Vaud Alps are also known as "devil horns". On the way to this summit, you feel a moment of heaven on Lake Geneva. Grapevines flatter the eye and castles rise majestically along the way. You could feel like cursing devilishly on the way to the Col de la Croix, but the idyllic landscape compensates for the sweat demanded by the climb up into the Vaud Alps.

The next paradise awaits you after the devilish pass. The ride through the green hills of the Saanenland and the balloons that float almost daily over Château-d'Oex will inspire you to dream. Not purgatory, but the occasional muffled bang of a cannon awaits you afterwards at Lac de l'Hongrin. Heaven and hell lie close together in the Vaud Alps and both are devilishly beautiful.

The ride over the Col de la Croix is spectacular, but it also requires good physical condition. The last stretch to Lac de l'Hongrin is also difficult to ride. The natural roads and especially the "Les Agites" tunnel are for experienced cyclists.
