Switzerland autumn travel: hiking trails and vineyard routes

Switzerland offers various hiking and travel opportunities for the autumn season, focusing on scenic landscapes and regional specialties.

One notable destination is the Saut du Doubs, a 27-meter waterfall located in the border landscape between Switzerland and France. Starting from Les Brenets in the Canton of Neuchâtel, visitors can hike through forests and along rock faces following the Doubs River. While boat trips on the river can complement the hike, travelers are advised to check water levels, as low water can interrupt service.

Additionally, the Lavaux UNESCO World Heritage site provides scenic routes through vineyards overlooking Lake Geneva. Regional train connections allow travelers to access various wine-growing regions, such as the routes between Lutry and Villette, making it possible to combine autumn hiking with visits to local wineries.
