  1. En lieu et place de mon fractionné du samedi matin, je me suis laissé convaincre par une petite sortie entre amis.

  2. A snapshot taken while on a hike through the #Lavaux vineyards bordering Lac Léman in January 2008: an #SBB🇨🇭#Geneva Airport to #Brig service is speeding through #Epesses station. The train is hauled by a Class 460 electric and includes EW IV stock in its original green and light grey livery (plus an ex-SNCF luggage van).

  6. Le train des vignes... #R7 #RERVaud #Lavaux
    Vevey - Corseaux - #Chexbres - Puidoux

    Next year it will become an RE line extended to Palézieux. It will allow IR passengers from Bern and Luzern to reach Vevey and the Riviera without going through Lausanne.

    Yesterday I noticed that there is a good event for people who like to walk, cycle, rollerblade, skateboard and more. The [Lavaux Slowup](https://www.veveylavauxup.ch/) is scheduled for the 9th of June 2024 this year.

    The advantage of a slow up is that roads are closed to traffic so for a few hours people can benefit from the entire width of the road to cycle, walk, run, scoot, rollerblade or do other sports.

    The last one I did was in Bulle and that was a relaxed loop around a lake, up and down a few hills. Two of us were on bikes and another was on roller blades.

    The Lavaux slow up is linear rather than a loop. You can take the train to the start, skate or ride along the route, and then take the train home. What makes this route special is that you have a good view of the vineyards from the lake side. It doesn’t seem to go into the vineyards.

    This is a golden opportunity to have an easy bike ride, or other, along the lake, without worrying about cars and other vehicles.

    For once human beings have priority over vehicles.

    ## And Finally

    In theory this is a 10km walk, so quite easy to do for most people. Cully can be reached by train and bus, and Vevey is also easy to get to, and from.

    At the time of writing I intend to go.

  9. Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Yesterday I tried an experiment which could have been a silly one. I tried to do the Lavaux hike from Puidoux to Vevey with Trail Glove 7 shoes. They are barefoot minimalist shoes so I could have regretted it. I didn’t but mainly because of the preparation before hand.

    ## The Preparation

    I have worn through one pair of Trail Glove 7 shoes before switching to the pair that I am using now. In that time I have walked at least 800 kilometres with one pair and an unknown amount with the second pair. The second pair is starting to show signs of wear. I think the left heel is about to fail.

    The key difference between barefoot shoes and normal shoes is that barefoot shoes do not offer much padding for the heel. Every time your heel hits the ground it hits with more force than it would with normal shoes.

    With the Vapor Glove seven, trail glove 6 and meindl barefoot shoes I find that the padding is not enough for my normal walks so I wear them very little, especially when walking my usual walking routes.

    ## The Walk

    Yesterday my shoes felt fine for almost the entire walk. They felt fine when going downhill and they felt fine when going uphill. They also felt fine in terms of temperature despite the snow. I think this is due to walking fast enough not to feel uncomfortable with the temperature.

    It’s near the end of the walk that I could feel that my left heel was starting to hurt. It wasn’t excruciating pain. I was simply aware that my body was getting tired. You would expect this. It’s hundreds of meters of climbing and descending as well as a reasonable walking distance.

    It’s 11.3km of walking with 447 meters of climbing and 636 meters of descending over three hours of moving time and three and a half hours overall.

    ## And Finally

    The advantage of barefoot shoes, once you get used to walking with them is that they are light and malleable. You have a more direct contact with the ground. I tried them because I started to find cheap shoes uncomfortable, and wanted to try something new.

    I knew that this walk would be on tarmac and concrete so I wasn’t worried about deep muddy puddles and more. I still had spare socks in case. I switched to these shoes because I was curious and stuck with them because I find them comfortable.

  11. Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Today I met with a meetup group to walk through the Lavaux vineyards from Puidoux to Vevey and the experience was good. The logistics of buying a train ticket confused me but other than this the experience was good.

    I was able to catch a train from Nyon to Morges, change in Morges for the train to Puidoux before then getting off the train in Puidoux. The advantage of changing in Morges is that I just had to get off one train before getting onto the next.

    At the start of the walk we were in snow, rain, and at one point it was almost but not quite hailing. The balls were small so I barely count them as hail. The advantage of walking in such weather is that the light is interesting. It changes from overcast to spotlit, to sunny, and back to rain and more. It’s dynamic weather.

    The views are great and one of the nice things about this walk is that you’re seeing different landscapes around each bend. One moment you’re seeing chateaux and vineyards and the next you’re seeing the Alps, and then after that you’re seeing the motorway and more. The motorway isn’t a selling point.

    What I appreciate, on this walk, is that you’re walking through old villages rather than modern ones. The buildings are old, with character. I like that we get a sense of history without having to drive to Italy or Spain, or Southern France. If you know where to look you can find historical sites in Switzerland. I think this is a nice cultural walk.

    During the walk I was struck by something. We hear about how Machu Pichu and other cities are built with vertical terraces but on this walk the terrassing is quite vertical in parts. You’re quite high above the lake, and the view down to the lake is precipitous. I even thought it could be described as vertiginous during the walk.

    ## And Finally

    The walk is physical. The beginning is a steep descent, and then you get some steep ascents and descents, more than once. Vineyards are often built on slopes and this was clearly evident. At one point I was walking up a slope on tip toes. It’s not high, in terms of altitude, but it’s exertional for people with less experience of “mountainous landscapes”.

    I enjoyed it and I think that this is a walk that I would do throughout the year. I would do it in spring, when the flowers are out, in autumn when the leaves are turning, and maybe in summer.

    It’s a nice walk.

  13. Am nordöstlichen Ufer des Genfer Sees befinden sich die Weinberge des Lavaux. Durch die malerische Gegend kann man auf zwei Bahnstrecken fahren: Einmal unten am Wasser entlang wie dieser Zug, und einmal weiter oben mit einer herrlichen Aussicht auf den See und die Berge.

  15. There is an abundance of scenic railway lines in the Swiss🇨🇭Alps, yet among my favourites are the views on Lac Léman from the #Geneva to #Bern and #Zurich #InterCity, when it climbs out of #Lausanne, passing through the #Lavaux vineyards. Pictures taken right before sunset today.

    Here is my attempt at disgusting you. #Switzerland
