Route description
A scenic ski touring route in the Swiss canton of Vaud, near the village of Château-d'Oex. The tour starts at Praz-Perron (approx. 1,400 m a.s.l.), where there is a free parking lot (!), and leads across the open terrain of the former La Braye ski resort. Today it is a popular destination for ski tourers thanks to its peace and quiet and the absence of any working lift infrastructure.
