There is no castle in Pays-d’Enhaut. However, by climbing the hill overlooking the village, you can discover an emblematic place, the Protestant temple. In the Middle Ages, the counts of Gruyère had built a castle or watchtower there. That structure has disappeared over time, and the original church, once located in the village, was moved to this higher location, giving it a new setting and open panorama over the valley.
The name Œx likely comes from the Celtic word “Ogo”, meaning high country, from which the forms D’Oex and D’Oey were derived.

You can watch cheese being made on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays at the restaurant and demonstration dairy Le Chalet in Château-d’Oex. The demonstration starts at 11h and ends around 13h with the cheese coming out, always an impressive moment.

The Caves de l’Etivaz also welcome you to discover alpine life through an immersive film. On site, virtual reality headsets even allow you to “participate” in cheese making as if you were there.

From June to August, you can also spend a night in the alpine pasture and take part in cheese making alongside the producer by booking the “Les sentiers du fromage d’alpage” package.

The festival usually takes place during the last nine days of January, from Saturday to Sunday of the following week. All detailed information is available on the official website.

Unfortunately it is not possible to visit the Grand Chalet, as the family of painter Balthus still resides there. However, more information is available on the official site.

The chapel dedicated to the artist is open every day from 10h to 20h. It is located in the heart of the village of Rossinière, just behind the restaurant Les Jardins de la Tour.

Beginner skiers can take their first turns at Jardin d’Œx Neiges in Château-d’Œx, an ideal area to gain confidence. More experienced skiers can enjoy the slopes of the La Lécherette area as well as La Videmanette in Rougemont.
