Traditional Wooden Chalets

The traditional wooden chalets of Château-d’Oex are one of the most recognizable features of the Pays-d’Enhaut region. These historic alpine homes reflect centuries of Swiss mountain architecture and craftsmanship. Built mainly from local timber, the chalets feature carved balconies, sloped roofs, and decorative details designed for alpine weather conditions. Many buildings are still used as family homes today. For travelers, walking through the village streets and countryside to see these chalets offers a glimpse into authentic Swiss alpine culture and rural life.
