La Herzroute, also known as Route du Cœur (itinerary 99), crosses Switzerland from Lausanne to Romanshorn on roads chosen for their scenic beauty and driving comfort, particularly popular in electric bike.
And if you manage to Romont, it's rarely “by chance”: Romont is the finish of stage 1 Lausanne → Romont, It was a busy and magnificent day, and one that deserves to be recuperated.
Romont: a real arrival, not just a break
The Lausanne - Romont displays approximately 51 km and a profile that can be felt in the legs (high cumulative climb).
This is exactly the kind of day when you want a simple plan:
- arrive, without asking 10 logistical questions
- eat properly, without having to cycle or walk far
- sleep peacefully, to leave clean the next day
At La Belle Croix: “arrive tired, leave clean”.”

Our practical advice for a successful Herzroute stopover in Romont
Here's what changes your next day (and what we see from cyclists who “finish strong” on their route):
- Arrival Allow 15-20 minutes for a “buffer” shower + a mini-check of the bike (tyre pressure, brakes, chain).
- Dinner Avoid “too heavy”, but don't under-eat: a recovery stage without energy costs more than a good meal.
- Sleep Your performance gains the next day will come mainly from this (not from an extra energy freeze).
(If you're travelling by e-bike: let us know when you book, and we'll show you the simplest solution for your equipment).
