The so-called Promenthouse fortified line is based on a natural obstacle formed by the courses of three streams:

  • le Ruisseau de la Combe
  • the lower course of Serine
  • the lower course of the Promenthouse 

The "Toblerone Trail", which today makes it possible to follow these three rivers, runs through a landscape which, starting from the steep slopes of the Jura, presents successively a rough terrain (area of Bassins), then slopes of more in more sweet (Begnins and Vich) and finally a plain (Gland and the delta of the Promenthouse).
