Ski:
Chateaux d'Oex has more of a genuine small town feeling about it than many ski resorts. For many skiers, this is a good choice, being close to its more famous neighbour Gstaad, and a part of the Gstaad Superski region The train which links these resorts will be a memorable part of your holiday.
Chateaux d'Oex itself is not a 'ski till you collapse' resort. It is pleasant and forgiving, ideal for the average recreational skier or family. The slopes are reached by cable car from the village to La Braye, skiable to 1,800m, where you can enjoy the gentle skiing nearby served by 10 lifts.
However Chateau d’Oex is a dynamite location for all skiers. You are only a few minutes by an efficient train service from the Gstaad Superski region which caters for all levels of skier with 130 lifts and up to 450km of prepared slopes at your disposal - including Glacier 3000 at Les Diablerets- available on a single ski pass.
NOTE: SKI PASS IS FREE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 9. Ski school is available locally.
Other Activities:
river rafting, cross country skiing, snow boarding, snow shoeing, winter walking. Extensive summer walking & hiking; cycling climbing (via ferrata).
