Adventure Hike: Bex Salt Trail

This week's Adventure Hike is the Bex Salt Trail starting in Plambuit and finishing in Le Bévieux. According to Schwieiz Mobile, the trail "follows a brine pipeline made of larch wood that transported water from the very first salt spring. Panels at various stages along the route display information worth knowing about salt mining. They guide hikers through forests, across fields, past quaint villages and vineyards, and to waterfalls with the Alps as backdrop."

The walk to Le Bévieux is 13 kms, 349 vm up, 666 vms down, which is about 3 1/2 hours walking.

Departure Geneva at 8:05  with arrival in Plambuit  at 9:46. Return from Bévieux 15:00 / 16:03 with arrival Geneva  16:51 / 17:51 .
