Saint-Cergue is a beautiful town typical of the canton of Vaud. At 1,041 meters above sea level, the panoramas of Lake Geneva and the Alps proliferate. Many shops are open for itinerants who practice the GR 5: grocery stores, inns, campsites and restaurants.

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Col du Marchairuz is a mountain pass in the Swiss canton of Vaud, which connects the towns of Le Brassus and Bière over a length of 18 kilometers. The pass is at 1447 m above sea level. From Saint-George, an equivalent road (the Route du Marchairuz) leads from the south up to the pass road, which it reaches about 3.6 km before the pass.

The Col du Marchairuz connects the La Côte wine region on Lake Geneva with Lac de Joux in the Vallée de Joux high valley all year round.

From Le Brassus, the road climbs steeply and before the pass, my path led off to the right through a beautiful little valley

Col du Marchairuz (1,449 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This route promises some great bike rides. You will also have the pleasure of experiencing a 12% slope on the 800 meters of the climb from Bassins. Traffic is rare, so you will have the opportunity to take a break at the restaurant at the Col Marchairuz.

View of Lake Geneva and the Alps

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the vineyards you can catch a glimpse of Lake Geneva and, in good weather, you can even see the Alps, which rise majestically on the opposite shore.
