The 6 bridges C’est au parking de Ropraz, village rendu célèbre par l’écrivain Jacques Chessex, que démarre cette randonnée entièrement balisée. En sortant de la localité, vous passez près du cimetière pour atteindre à une centaine de mètres une place de pique-nique. Vous plongez ensuite dans la forêt et retrouvez rapidement le premier pont de bois qui traverse le ruisseau de Corcelles. Vous poursuivez ainsi, de pont en pont en direction d’Hermenches. Après le 4e pont, votre route vous emmène au lieu-dit « Landerons », point culminant et panorama à couper le souffle sur les Alpes et les Préalpes. A Hermenches, vous découvrez les fermes vaudoises typiques le long d’une rue principale ainsi qu’une jolie fontaine couverte, la « fontaine de la Chapelle », inaugurée en 2018. Retrouvez la vallée boisée de la Bressonne pour enjamber le 5e pont. Vous atteignez tour à tour La Râpe puis Vucherens et sa chapelle datant de 1737 - classée monument historique. La balade se termine à Ropraz, où vous avez amplement mérité une fondue au Café de la Poste. 2026-03-12T18:21:59+01:00 Moudon-6-ponts_campagne_023_copyright_Willam_Gammuto (William Gammuto) Balade_les 6 ponts_Moudon_Pont_copyright_Moudon_Region_Tourisme Balade_les 6 ponts_Château_Ropraz_copyright MRT-3 Balade_les 6 ponts_Vucherens_Chapelle_copyright_Moudon_Region_Tourisme 734.82531738281 Vucheren's Chapel Small building of 11.80m by 8.60m, the chapel of Vucherens was built in 1737. It was then used as a place of worship on weekends and housed weekday classes during the summer until 1777 when a school was built. The chapel is located on the pass connecting Vucherens to La Râpe, on the edge of the main village but in the center of the communal territory.

Over time, the erosion of its molasse bed has formed gorges and pots resembling cavities in some of the watercourse's places. This specificity will give you an unexpected and splendid spectacle : a great reward when doing a hike.
