The restaurant at the top of Les Pleiades is pretty good, but I wouldn't fancy riding the track up to it on a road bike. I've done it on a mountain bike, but only downhill I think. The fondue was indeed moitiƩ-moitiƩ, and happily the ride was almost entirely downhill after the buvette. Long climbs after a fondue would indeed be a bit unpleasant. As for the wine, I would've gone for a Fendant myself - @Cycliste would have gone for a Johannisberg I suspect - but they only had Chardonne in a 75cl bottle. And 50cl is never going to be enough to wash down a fondue for two.
That depends ... 50cl wine and 50cl kirsch should be ample supply.
Are you guys based around Vevey while there?
Yep, definitely enough, and definitely wouldn't want to be riding after 50cl of kirsch! Yes, based in Vevey from time to time at the weekends.
