Bulle-Vevey -Bulle (- Gruyères) Road bike or mountain bike

Road bike tour Bulle - Vevey and back (can be combined with a visit to the beautiful Gruyères, which gives the trip an even more historical character).

Bulle is the capital of the Gruyère region and breathes peace and Swiss tradition: with its folkloristic markets, livestock markets, fairs, exhibitions, theater, concerts and events of all kinds. Furthermore, the region around Bulle is renowned for its gastronomy, where many restaurants recommend their "menu de la Benichon" known for its local specialties.
You ride to Vevey, along roads that provide a continuously varying landscape. We drive along the slopes of the Pre-Alps, although at a constant altitude until we descend towards the shores of Lake Geneva, near Vevey. In this old town - which was built in the Roman period - just between Lausanne and Montreux, you'll find plenty of places to have a break along the lake side, before you go back.
We return along the same road, and whoever wants to, can continue until the town of Gruyères, which lies 7 km further uphill. A visit to this medieval city is a must. It's an ideal place to have a refreshment at one of the many terraces at the unique town square, before you start the descent back to Bulle.

We continue our trip via Nyon, which looks very appealing and inviting thanks to is medieval scene. We continue our trip via Rulle to Lausanne, the capital of the Canton of Vaud.
