You can get there by train b taking a train to Renens, and then switching to a train from Renens to La Sarraz. You can also drive to La Sarraz via the motorway and park at the P&#038;R parking for five francs per day, via the app. It costs 1 CHF per hour but the walk took five and a half hours so I amortised the parking by staying more than five hours. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.komoot.com\/tour\/1608306729\/embed?share_token=ay9Rer64AwQ4Vh9TuBqScDoujoQug5pSLB81ryMeHPQ7FXhbaQ&#038;profile=1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"700\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n[The walk](https:\/\/www.komoot.com\/tour\/1608306729?share_token=ay9Rer64AwQ4Vh9TuBqScDoujoQug5pSLB81ryMeHPQ7FXhbaQ&#038;ref=wtd) is quite easy. For the most part you are on dirt roads and trails. There are one or two bits where the path is a little steeper and requires people to be fit enough to negotiate the larger &#8220;steps&#8221; but other than that it is a reasonable walk. The distance we covered was about 17km. It has about 670m of climbing and descending.<\/p>\n<p>You walk from La Sarraz through the town for a bit, following the signs to Romainmotier. You then walk by a camping, and then a hospital, and then along the river for a bit. You cross a bridge two or three times and eventually you get to the waterfall Du Dard. It is a nice waterfall, especially when it is erupting with water, as it has been, after so much rain for several months now.<\/p>\n<p>The next part is along a river that has been contained. It goes by a water wheel, two fountains where clothes can be washed, and plaes where you can get honey and other things.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually you get to Romainmotier where you can stop for coffee, and cakes, before visiting the abbey. The walk back is along another nice path.<\/p>\n<p>## And Finally<\/p>\n<p>What strikes me about these walks is that the natural instinct would be to believe that you would have a road walk but that isn&#8217;t the case. Despite it being quite close to civilisation the paths are nice and wild. The paths were a little muddy in paths but we had the good luck of walking under the tree canopy when it was raining so we stayed dry.There were a few muddy paths and occasionaly people passed on bikes. For the most part this is a nice nature walk. With two cars you could do it as a one way walk. The advantage of this walk is that it is a loop so you can go by train, or by car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>It is possible to walk from La Sarraz to Romainmotier and back with barely any time spent on roads.
