A beautiful, long stage between the cantons of Vaud and Neuchâtel, which can be split as you wish.

Starting in Baulmes, you take trail 70, the Via Francigena, to Yverdon. From Yverdon, you reach the shores of Lake Neuchâtel, which you follow to Onnens via Grandson. From Onnens, still following the signposted lakeside footpaths, you continue to St-Aubin (NE). Along the way, you'll pass the former charterhouse of La Lance in Concise, a must-see building. From St-Aubin, the path leaves the lakeshore, rises and takes you to Bevaix, where you will discover the old priory complex surrounded by vineyards.
