Gruyères – Neirivue

Parc naturel régional Gruyère Pays-d'Enhaut - The trail leads from the little town of Gruyère past the Maison du Gruyère and then further in the direction of the Saane valley. Then it ascends again over meadows to the village of Neirivue.

he hike begins at Gruyères train station, right as you step off the train. The medieval town offers a charming and authentic detour. The route then gently leaves the town and climbs into the Chésalles forest. As you exit the forest, you're rewarded with a breathtaking view of the three "Dents" – Dent de Broc, Dent du Chamois, and Dent du Bourgo – an ideal moment to pause and enjoy the panorama.

The walk continues toward the marshy areas of the Létchyre plateau, through pastures and meadows. The path then skirts the upper part of the gravel pit between Enney and Villars-sous-Mont, following the foothills of the Vanil Blanc. It passes near the Pink Chapel and continues uphill towards Neirivue.

Above the last houses of Villars-sous-Mont, you cross the Loyettes stream via a charming shingle-covered bridge, built in August 2022 by local craftsmen. The trail continues along a wooded ridge before descending into the heart of the village of Neirivue, where this stage ends.
