Departure from Gryon (Vaud)
The aim of this hike is to be able to walk without the risk of falling on steep, slippery slopes after heavy rain.
Once you have completed the initial climb, it is all downhill.
The starting point can be reached on foot from La Barboleuse or, more conveniently, by bus from Villars sur Ollon or La Barboleuse. The bus stop is called Les Fracherets. You can even go to the bus terminus, which saves you a few dozen metres of elevation gain.
