A vibrant autumn in the heart of the Pays-d’Enhaut

The Pays-d’Enhaut is dressed in its finest colours and invites you to make the most of autumn.

Walks, colourful landscapes, pumpkin hunts, family activities and discoveries in the villages: there is no shortage of ideas for days out during the holidays. Whether you feel like getting some fresh air, being active or simply enjoying quality time with the family, autumn is the perfect opportunity to experience the region in a different way.

Pumpkin Hunt

This autumn, explore the streets of Château-d’Œx with a fun pumpkin hunt. Riddles, clues and decorated shop windows make this a great family activity in the heart of the village.

Pendulum Jump & Giant Zip Lines

Looking for height and a good dose of adrenaline? In the Gorges du Pissot, enjoy two spectacular aerial experiences in an exceptional natural setting.

Take on the pendulum jump, with an impressive plunge into the void followed by a giant swinging motion more than 100 metres above the ground.
Then soar along the giant zip lines : two 200-metre lines suspended up to 110 metres above the gorge, combined with aerial obstacles and a short via ferrata.
Two exciting ways to discover the Gorges du Pissot from a different perspective and enjoy plenty of thrills in the heart of nature!

Fancy a great road cycling route? The Col des Mosses and Col du Pillon offer an accessible yet spectacular outing. Take your time on the climb, admire the views as they gradually open up, then savour the descent.
For a more nature-focused experience, mountain bike and gravel routes wind through forests, alpine pastures and varied trails. Fun routes, sometimes more technical, but always full of discoveries.

With electric assistance, everything becomes easier. Ride without pressure, go a little further, a little higher… and above all, make the most of every moment.

Diving into the heart of rivers

In autumn, the rivers of the Pays-d’Enhaut still offer plenty of opportunities for adventure before winter arrives.
Rafting, kayaking or hydrospeed: everyone can choose their own pace, from fun-filled moments to a real adrenaline rush. For an even closer connection with nature, canyoning is a great way to discover gorges, waterfalls and hidden pools.
These activities are available until the end of October, depending on weather conditions, and are always supervised by professionals.

Autumn Hikes

Explore the Pays-d’Enhaut on foot thanks to an extensive network of marked trails suitable for all levels. Between alpine pastures, forests and mountain panoramas, hiking is the perfect way to discover the region at your own pace.

The Pays-d’Enhaut Trail Running Area

The Pays-d’Enhaut Trail Running Area offers a multitude of trails for all levels. Long, airy ridges, green valleys, slopes that burn your thighs, or gentler trails… each route reveals a new facet of the region.

With the Trail Connect app, you can carry maps, profiles, points of interest, GPX files, and opening information right in your pocket.

Via Ferrata on the Rübli

Just a few minutes from the Videmanette, the rock faces of the Rübli are a great way to continue enjoying the mountains in autumn. The via ferrata offers three routes, from the most accessible to the most exposed, allowing you to climb along the rock while taking in the seasonal colours.
Everyone can progress at their own pace, with a 360° panorama over the surrounding peaks as a reward. A great way to extend the high-altitude season before winter arrives.
LIFT OPENING TIMES
In autumn, the Videmanette lifts are open on Saturdays and Sundays only, from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. Equipment can be rented directly at the lift station during opening hours. The via ferrata installations are then dismantled for the winter and reinstalled after the snow has melted.

Disc Golf in the Pays-d’Enhaut

Looking for a fun and original activity? Try disc golf at the Col de la Laitemaire in Château-d’Œx.
Throw your disc and aim for the baskets along a course set in the alpine pastures, surrounded by nature and exceptional views of the surrounding peaks. Accessible to everyone, fun and free of charge.


What if the weather doesn’t cooperate?

A few raindrops ? No reason to let them spoil the day !
