    H tencneo,

    If you have time, I certainly recommend the short trip with the funicular to Mont Pelerin. The journey takes less than 15 mins. At the top you’ll get a nice view of the Lavaux terraced vineyards. If you prefer an easy hike, you can walk down to Chardonne (a local winemaking village), then continue down with the funicular.

    From Vevey train station, you can also travel directly to Les Pleiades with the mountain train. The journey takes only 38 mins. There are numerous hiking trails on Les Pleiades. You can find further info here: http://www.lespleiades.ch/ete_balades_QR.html

    You might also be interested in an excursion to Rochers de Naye near Montreux. The excursion is discounted with the Swiss Travel Pass.

    Regards,

    Anna
