Take the Lausanne autoroute (for 40 km), or the Route du Lac, to Aubonne.
We will meet at 10h00 at the kiosque of the BUS Station of AUBONNE, situated along a roundabout with an Esplanade at its other side. From there we will drive to the Parking at the Arboretum and start the hike there. We will walk along vineyards, beech woods, the Aubonne River. There is a circular walk around the Arboretum. At the top, the view extends over the wooded valley to Lake Geneva and across to the Alps. 

Aubonne itself is a charming old town,  well worth visiting this time or another time for its interesting shops, church, the place du Marché and a thirteenth- to seventeenth-century château.
