Description

Caux is a small village. It is a good centre to explore up and down the mountain as there are good footpaths and also a fernicular railway that starts in Montreux and goes up to the top of the Rochers de Naye (c2,000m above sea level). You have a good chance of Chocard à bec jaune and Monticole de roche at the summit. In the woods there is a good variety of birds including Pic noir, Mésange boréale and Roitelet triple-bandeau. Pie-grièche écorcheur and Gros-bec casse-noyaux can be seen.

Accès

Start at Montreux (direct line from Lausanne and Geneva). Change trains onto the small blue train that goes to the Rochers de Naye. One strategy is to take the train to the top and walk down. In winter, there will be a lot of snow and this may not be practicable. But there will not be so many birds in the middle of winter - although some birds such as Tichodrome échelette may be found at lower altitudes.
