Le D\u00e9zaley
CAN BE TASTED ON FOOT, TOO!<\/div>\n
Cross through the Portes du D\u00e9zaley<\/div>\n

The Portes du D\u00e9zaley<\/h1>\n
\n

Walking is the best way to immerse oneself in the beauty of D\u00e9zaley. The vignerons in the appellation area have made a lovely and easy loop that takes about 1 hour and 50 minute, featuring five metallic framed entryways. So many emblematic place names, spots that offer sublime viewing points which look out over the lake and the Alps, where you can discover these exceptional vineyards that are suspended between the Earth and sky.<\/p>\n

The itinerary is easily reached on foot from the CFF\/SBB rail stations in Cully, Epesses, Chexbres, Grandvaux and Rivaz. Or why not go to Cully and Rivaz by lake, on one of the sumptuous old CGN steamboats from the Belle \u00c9poque?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\n Porte 3 - Chemin de la Dame \n <\/h3>\n \n
From the top of this hillside, 34 million years are contemplating you. It was during these times long ago that the puddingrock and molasse met and were married here. Then when the Alps rose up the hillside was created, with its flank to the sun. Its rocks, looking as if they were hammered into shape, carry the traces of the retreat of the Rhone glacier.\n
