The starting point is Cully station, located right in the Lavaux vineyards. Even the train ride along Lake Geneva offers spectacular views. For the return trip, you can use the stations Saint-Saphorin, Vevey, or Montreux, all of which are directly on the SBB line between Lausanne and Brig.    <\/li><li><strong data-start=\"232\" data-end=\"246\">\ud83d\udcb0 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Costs<\/span>:<\/strong> The hike is free.

The sunset over Lake Geneva is especially impressive. The light and vastness almost make you feel like you are standing by the sea.

A magical moment when the scent of grapes still lingers in the air. In autumn, the grapes are usually already harvested, but that\u2019s exactly when the vines turn into a glowing yellow-orange. At the very beginning, you have two options: either follow the road gently to the next junction or take the slightly steeper path up to Riex. Both routes are beautiful, but if you want the best views right from the start, you should definitely choose the path to Riex.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c67561b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1c67561b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a11799 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9a11799\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lavaux-weinberge-herbst-genfersee-alpen.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTU2OTcsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9zd2lzc2Fyb3VuZC5jaFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDlcL2xhdmF1eC13ZWluYmVyZ2UtaGVyYnN0LWdlbmZlcnNlZS1hbHBlbi5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lavaux-weinberge-herbst-genfersee-alpen-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15697\" alt=\"Autumnal vineyards in Lavaux with a view of Lake Geneva and the Alps in the background.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lavaux-weinberge-herbst-genfersee-alpen-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lavaux-weinberge-herbst-genfersee-alpen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lavaux-weinberge-herbst-genfersee-alpen-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lavaux-weinberge-herbst-genfersee-alpen-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lavaux-weinberge-herbst-genfersee-alpen-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lavaux-weinberge-herbst-genfersee-alpen-1320x880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lavaux-weinberge-herbst-genfersee-alpen-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lavaux-weinberge-herbst-genfersee-alpen.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cba6fdf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1cba6fdf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40179843 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40179843\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p>The trail mostly follows narrow, paved lanes used only by winegrowers and workers, making it calm and idyllic.

A picturesque winegrowing village right on Lake Geneva. Its narrow, winding alleys and characteristic winegrowers\u2019 houses create an almost Mediterranean atmosphere. Particularly impressive is the Church of Saint-Symphorien, with origins dating back to the 10th century. Today, Saint-Saphorin is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland and is famous for its wine cellars, where you can taste regional wines. As seen in the photos, the village is especially magical in the evening, bathed in golden sunlight.     <\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab834be e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ab834be\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee7ed4c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ee7ed4c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8ec6ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"d8ec6ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtube.com\\\/shorts\\\/g9f5mlatzmk?feature=share&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e85065e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e85065e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a32018 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3a32018\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/saint-saphorin-dorf-gasse-sonnenuntergang-alpen.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTU3MDQsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9zd2lzc2Fyb3VuZC5jaFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDlcL3NhaW50LXNhcGhvcmluLWRvcmYtZ2Fzc2Utc29ubmVudW50ZXJnYW5nLWFscGVuLmpwZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/saint-saphorin-dorf-gasse-sonnenuntergang-alpen-683x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15704\" alt=\"A narrow alley in the village of Saint Saphorin with views of the Alps glowing in the evening light and the final rays of the sun.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/saint-saphorin-dorf-gasse-sonnenuntergang-alpen-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/saint-saphorin-dorf-gasse-sonnenuntergang-alpen-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/saint-saphorin-dorf-gasse-sonnenuntergang-alpen-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/saint-saphorin-dorf-gasse-sonnenuntergang-alpen-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/saint-saphorin-dorf-gasse-sonnenuntergang-alpen-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/saint-saphorin-dorf-gasse-sonnenuntergang-alpen-900x1350.jpg 900w, https:\/\/swissaround.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/saint-saphorin-dorf-gasse-sonnenuntergang-alpen.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38a92ea e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"38a92ea\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de56a19 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"de56a19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"143\" data-end=\"451\">We could hardly believe our eyes, it felt as if time had stood still.
