Pays-d'Enhaut is an area of Switzerland located between Lausanne and Interlaken. It borders the Swiss-German Saanenland and the famous resort of Gstaad. The region is T-shaped, comprising two valleys. The main valley runs from the village of La Tine in the direction of Gruyères and Bulle to Rougemont, continuing in the direction of Saanen and Gstaad. The secondary valley runs south from Château-d'Œx to the villages of Etivaz and La Lécherette in the direction of Les Mosses (Col-des-Mosses) and Aigle, continuing to the canton of Valais.
The district benefits from idyllic summers with several hiking and walking routes. Winter skiing is possible in several locations, especially near Rougemont and Château-d'Œx. The Rougemont ski location is linked by a piste that runs into the Gstaad network of ski runs.
Pays-d'Enhaut is the historical center of the Enhaut dialect group of the Franco-Provençal language.[2]French is spoken in the district, as well.
