The Gruyère Pays-d'Enhaut Park
A park to experience, a park to share
Walk and discover
Heritage trails or marked routes through the heart of nature: every outing is an opportunity to discover the Park’s natural and cultural treasures.
Many hiking trails remain accessible until the first snowfall, offering the opportunity to discover the Park’s four regions amid the changing colours and landscapes of autumn.
Between Château-d’Œx and L’Etivaz, this stage of the Grand Tour des Vanils is an invitation to enjoy the changing autumn landscapes before the first snow arrives. The route passes through the La Pierreuse Nature Reserve, offering a wonderful immersion in the Park’s unspoilt landscapes.
From Broc to Jaun via Charmey, the Jogne Heritage Trail invites visitors to discover the valley’s living heritage through nearly 60 points of interest. Emblematic buildings, historic sites and local traditions punctuate the walk, with each stop revealing a part of the region’s story.
The route can easily be completed in two stages of around 3 hours’ walking each.
Responsible behaviour and outdoor activities
The Park has compiled the best practices and federal and cantonal regulations to help everyone enjoy outdoor activities responsibly and in accordance with the law, depending on the activity and the area concerned.
