A diverse and scenic stretch along Lac des Chavonnes, a deep-blue mountain lake. The highest part of the route with a spectacular panorama is reached high above Villars, before the racy descent begins into the Rhone Valley.
This physically demanding stage begins in Les Diablerets. It climbs up to the natural masterpiece of the gypsum pyramids and on to a picturesque lake, where you can take a break and swim. You’re accompanied along the way by many fantastic views across the Vaud mountains. You finish with a fast-paced descent to the old salt mines at Bex.
