“We really enjoyed the city tour. Even as "almost locals," we learned a lot of new things. Ms Kocher was very knowledgeable and took us on an exciting journey.”

Château-d'Oex
Château-d'Oex is located 22 km east of Vevey and lies at 958 m above sea level. The village with about 3500 inhabitants extends in a valley widening of the Pays-d'Enhaut slightly elevated above the valley of the Saane in the Vaud Alps. Château-d'Oex includes numerous hamlets, vacation settlements, alpine settlements and individual farms. Both the 14th century Saint-Donat church and the 19th century suspension bridge are considered sights of Château-d'Oex. The vacation region of the Vaud Alps is connected to the Lake Geneva region via Col des Mosses. The Montreux - Bernese Oberland railroad also connects the two regions. Château-d'Oex has a special microclimate and is therefore particularly suitable for balloon flights. The ski resort of La Braye has 20 km of slopes and 4 lifts.

on Lindt Home of Chocolate Museum Ticket“Amazing time. Money well spent on guide with my travel companion not interested in this activity I was thankful I had someone with me encouraging me and giving me so much historical and local history. I just wish I had known I needed my wallet to on the adventure. I had no idea it didn’t end anywhere near the start! Ithink communication should be improved so tourists know you need to plan your way back UP to the starting point to retrieve your belongings or return your rental shoes, etc. Options area) $7 1way cable car ticket UP to Murren, or 45 min hike back UP to Murren. This was not clear for anyone in our group.”
