Vevey - Super Saturday Lavaux Vineyard Hike, Swim & BBQ

Saturday, August 11th, 2012 @ 13:00
Corseaux-Cornalles Train station - near Vevey on the Vevey - Puidoux line, Lausanne
Part 1 - LAVAUX Vineyard Hike from VEVEY (CORSEAUX-CORNALLES)
Meet at Corseaux/Cornalles train station at 13.15 (two stops up the Lavaux-Puidoux train line from Vevey). Address is Chemin de Cornalles, 1802 Corseaux.
Those coming by car can park at my place which is about 50m from the train stop (3-4 spaces) or park in the road by the train station (for free).
There is an hourly train which leaves Vevey at 13.10 and arrives at Corseaux-Cornalles at 13.13.
13.30: Drop off your stuff for the BBQ/Swim at my place so you don’t have to carry it on the hike. Food can be put in the fridge.
Hike up through the vineyards to the Mt. Pèlerin then back down with a stop at a cave in Chardonne for a glass of wine (or two...) on the way back.
We will do a circular route. Up about 400m elevation and down again. Around 3 hours +/- 30 minutes of walking plus a bit of time at the cave.
17.00- 17.30 Return Corseaux (my place) for tea and cake.
18.30 End of Part 1
Part 2 - see separate post for the BBQ and Swim
Things to bring:
1. Hike.
Hiking shoes, water (plenty), camera, snacks, sunglasses, sunhat (it should be quite hot!)
Hiking poles for fairly steep downhill.
A smile & good humour
Change of clothes for the BBQ (showers available)
Change of shoes for the BBQ
Please can you let me know if you will be coming by car and if you can offer places to others to go to the lake for the BBQ.
