Relaxation and activities
Halfway between the chic town of Gstaad in the Bernese Oberland and the Freiburger town of Gruyère is the village Château-d'Oex at about 1000m altitude. The holiday region of Pays-d'Enhaut is connected with the Region of Lake Geneva via the Col des Mosses, or with the Montreux - Bernese Oberland - Bahn.
Thanks to its favorable microclimate, Château-d'Oex has developed into a hot air balloon metropolis. Balloon rides with passengers are offered all year round and an international ballooning competition takes place every January.
Many old traditions have been preserved over the years. The Etivaz alpine cheese, which has been loved for centuries, is still made over a wood fire. In Rougemont, several hundred-year-old chalets bear witness to regional folk art.
Children are also well catered for in the Pays-d'Enhaut. Interesting is the themed trail on the life of ants on La Braye or a visit to the mineral and fossil collection in Rougemont.
