The bridge trail
Route Information
Description
Villars station - Col de la Croix road - La Verneyre
The trail begins in Villars and leads via the Col de la Croix road to La Verneyre. From the Villars train station, head towards Rochegrises and the Centre des Sports. Then turn right onto the Col de la Croix road for several hundred metres. Shortly afterwards, on your right, you will see a path covered with wood bark. This is the beginning of the path. This trail includes the crossing of 27 footbridges, 2 staircases and the discovery of a dozen statues sculpted in the wood by the forestry department of the Commune of Ollon. You walk along the river La Gryonne, in the shade of the forest, before reaching La Verneyre (refreshment bar open in winter only). From this point, several routes are possible: - The return to Villars by the same path, with the possibility of also joining Arveyes (in the direction of Barboleuse). - The climb to the top of the Col de la Croix. - The path that takes you to Gryon via the Refuge du Luissalet (possibility to reach the top of the Chaux cable car).
