Sunday, October 25
Due to the evolution of the pandemic, and the new measures imposed by the authorities, our Sunday outing has been changed.
We will not travel together to Nyon, but meet there.
*The new RDV will be the Nyon railway station 09:45 (platform 21/22). *
We will do the walking in 2 groups to respect the rule of 5 peoples together.
The “Sentier des Toblerones” is a military defense line, constructed during WW2, going from the Juras, and down to the lake. This is a very nice walk.
We will take the train to Bassins, and walk down along the Toblerones, towards the lake, at Gland. We will then walk along the lake to Prangins.
Distance: approximately 15km, 4 hours. The walk is mainly downhill, but with some up-and-down. 520m down, 180m up.
Logistics :
New meeting place: Nyon Station, platform 21/22
Meeting time: 09h45 (train leaves at 09h52)
This platform is not in the main station, but slightly outside, on the Jura side of the station.
Do not go to the main Geneva-Lausanne tracks.
