Toblerone Trail in Prangins
A walk that tells a story: the Toblerone Trail follows the former line of anti-tank fortifications from 1940, these concrete blocks lined up like chocolate bars. Forts camouflaged as villas, educational panels, and arrival at the edge of the lake: a free and exciting nature outing.
