Starting from one of the villages of the Pays-d'Enhaut, begin your tour through the Gruyère-Pays-d'Enhaut Regional Nature Park. Whether on your right or left, you are surrounded by peaks over 2'000m. From the village of Les Granges, see the famous Gummfluh! As soon as you arrive in Rougemont, the imposing Rübli will be your landmark.
Apart from these mountains, discover the streets of Rougemont where you will find chalets that are more than a hundred years old! At the entrance to the village, admire the magnificent church and castle built by the monks of Cluny.
Once you have crossed the Vanel border, a slight descent takes you into the Saanenland. On your way, our Swiss-German neighbours invite you to discover the villages of Saanen, Gstaad, Feutersoey as well as Gsteig before returning to Vaud!
The first mountain pass is in front of you! Start the ascent through the forest to the summit of Pillon. This is where the Glacier 3000 cable car starts. The place is ideal for a fresh moment in summer! Descend from the summit at 1540m to the village of Les Diablerets before reaching your second pass!
Once in Le Sépey, it's time to go to the Col des Mosses with a 400m climb! From the top of the pass to the point of departure. Stop at the village of Etivaz for a gourmet break. It is in this hamlet that the famous alpine cheese L'Etivaz AOP is conserved!
