Saint-Triphon is a small heritage village south of Aigle, set on a low hill in the Rhône valley. Its stone houses, church, and older lanes make it a quiet contrast to the resort traffic that passes through Aigle.
It is best folded into a gentle drive or cycle ride rather than treated as a major excursion. The reward is a compact slice of old Vaud architecture with open views towards the surrounding vineyards and mountains.
