From the villages in the Morges vineyards, there is a fantastic view of Lake Geneva, the medieval town and, weather permitting, Mont-Blanc, which is exactly opposite. The winetouristic hike in this picture postcard scenery offers a fun discovery of the region, its specialties and wines. Starting out from Vufflens and its impressive castle, the free app called Vaud:Guide shows you the way along approx. 4 miles (most of which is in the vineyards and some in the town of Morges) and about thirty historic, unique and must-see sites. Each of these sites presents a challenge to participants, who can reply to multiple-choice questions, find a specific location thanks to their GPS or make a selfie in front of a beautiful panorama. All this can make you win points! For novices: Don’t panic. The answers are quite straightforward for those with an observant eye.
