Tour of Lac de l’Hongrin via Rossinière

Highlight • Lake

10.6 km

Lac de Lessoc

Highlight • Lake

From Lac de Lessoc you have a great view of the 1,967 meter high peak of the Dent de Corjon. A short tour around the lake on the opposite side of the main road is also worthwhile. The best way to do this is to cross the lake on the small, covered wooden bridge in the middle, which is a small attraction in itself.

Grand Chalet de Rossinière

Highlight • Monument

If you want to enjoy the panoramic views of the Grand Chalet de Rossinière, the largest wooden house in Switzerland, it is best to time your run in the morning or evening, when the light is softer and the crowds fewer. You will be blown away by the nature and history of this magnificent place, where the famous painter Balthus lived and worked.

Hotel du Chamois, L'Étivaz

Highlight • Restaurant

Welcome to the Hôtel du Chamois.
If you enjoy family-run hotels and traditional cuisine, or if you like wooden chalet-style hotels, or if you enjoy the atmosphere of a small village, then the Hôtel du Chamois has everything you need! L'Étivaz, a hamlet of 150 inhabitants, is located halfway between Château-d'Oex and the Col des Mosses. The peace, quiet, and beauty of its landscape blend seamlessly with the dynamism of a small mountain region.

Col des Mosses

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The north ramp is rather tame with a good 500 meters in altitude, the climb from the canton of Vaud demands considerably more with almost 1,000 meters to be overcome. Both sides are very scenic, the road is excellent throughout, the maximum gradient hardly exceeds the 10% mark.

A regular feature in the Tour de Romandie and Tour de Suisse, the Col des Mosses is the easiest climb of the Alpes vaudoises, with two flat sections and otherwise gentle slopes.
