In the night of 27th to 28th July 1800, in the middle of a period of heat and political turmoil, the village centre of Château-d’Oex was almost completely wiped out by a devastating inferno.
During the summer season, a variety of horse carriage providers offer spirited jaunts around the Saanenland, a sublimely enjoyable way to see the spectacular landscape that takes you back to a slower, simpler era.
In Château-d’Oex, the open-air paper cutting exhibition Le Grand des Marques – Erde und Natur has been opened with large-format reproductions. Evergreens and a green waves as well as tradition and modernity meet in exciting ways.
