Excursions - Château-d'Oex (Lake Geneva Region)
Winter huts in Switzerland
Idyllic setting with a view over the entire Pays-d'Enhaut valley and the Vanils mountain chain.
From the sunny terrace, one has an unobstructed view of the Mont-Blanc, the Aiguilles du Midi and the Diablerets glacier.
Terrace with a magnificent view. Extraordinary feeling of tranquillity, due to the fact that the chalet is only accessible at the cost of a sweaty brow - to hikers!

Snow-Shoe Trekking
In winter, 56.6 kilometres of marked snowshoe trails are on offer in Château-d'Oex, Rougemont and Mosses.
Museums
The "Espace Ballon" is in the centre of Chateau-'Oex and offers a range of hot air balloon-related activities for children and adults alike. The permanent and temporary exhibitions are designed to inform visitors about the "lighter than air" experience from different angles.
Great adventures
Over the years Château-d'Oex has become an important hot air ballooning site thanks to the exceptional micro-climate of the Pays-d'Enhaut Valley. In good weather, the wind carries scores of people away every day in complete safety on board one of Château-d'Oex's famous balloons. This is a truly amazing way of exploring the majestic Alpine massif.
Tobboganing
There are two toboggan runs, enjoyed by children and adults alike!
Summer mountain tips
Because Etivaz is best when the freshest milk is used, this cheese from
Canton Vaud is made directly on the alp - spectators are more than
welcome.
Theme and discovery trails
The universe of the ant is filled with magic. Who has not met these tiny creatures in the forest, in the garden or even in the home?
