Source-described walk

Sentier du Mont d’Or · Vallorbe–summit–Vallorbe

2 of 2 stages mapped · reference itinerary

The whole source outing runs from Vallorbe station through the Pralioux woods and past the border hut to the Mont d’Or summit in France, then back to the same station. Both prescribed directions are retained. The summit is the actual turnaround; no closing connector or alternate descent is added. Original source whole-outing figures: 13km, 280minutes, +860/−860metres. These are whole-source figures, not per-leg times or measured native climb.

The mapped stages join to form the reference itinerary.

SchweizMobil recommends the complete walk through the wooded Pralioux approach and border pastures to Mont d’Or for its varied plants, cliff scenery and extensive Alpine views. The same walking route returns to Vallorbe.

Whole itinerary: hiking. Individual stage checks appear below.

Mapped stages are source-described references. Check mountain skills, current path conditions, transport and overnight arrangements for your dates.
