Visit Yverdon

Sehen & Erleben

Wandern rund um Yverdon

Der Jura steigt direkt hinter Yverdon aus der Ebene auf, und das Seeufer verläuft flach in die andere Richtung: Das Wandern ist hier aussergewöhnlich, von sanften Spaziergängen durch die Reben bis zum Blick auf acht Seen von der Dent de Vaulion. Hier sind die schönsten Routen.

Distanzen und Zeiten stammen vom regionalen Tourismusbüro; der Schwierigkeitsgrad wird nicht immer angegeben, orientieren Sie sich daher an Länge und Aufstieg. Die Region listet über 250 Routen; dies sind unsere Favoriten; die vollständige Liste des Tourismusbüros durchsuchen für den Rest. Prüfen Sie vor dem Aufbruch stets Wetter und Wegzustand.

Detaillierte Einträge werden noch übersetzt, vorerst auf Englisch.
