Easy hike from Puidoux-Chexbres to the Tour de Gourze

This is an easy hike, and quite beautiful.
Only 9.5km and 383m altitude gain. Perfect for starting the hiking season, if you haven't yet.
We'll walk through forests and farm land, arriving to the Mont de Gourze from behind (through the forest). We'll picnic at the top, where there's also a nice buvette (simple restaurant).
There's an opportunity to climb the Tour from the inside, and enjoy an awesome view of Lausanne and the Lake.
We'll walk back through the lake side, admiring the lake, view from the top, and end back at the Puidoux train station where we started.
