Broc - Charmey

Parc naturel régional Gruyère Pays-d'Enhaut - This trail, proposed by the Parc Gruyère Pays-d'Enhaut and the communes of Châtel-sur-Montsalvens, Crésuz, Val-de-Charmey and Jaun, showcases the valley's built heritage and living traditions.

The route starts at Broc-Fabrique station and runs past the Cailler factory to Electrobroc. After this detour, we retrace our steps to reach the banks of the Jogne before climbing to Bataille. After crossing the eponymous pasture, a diversion takes you past the ruins of Montsalvens. The path then climbs through Châtel-sur-Montsalvens. Continue towards Crésuz via Les Chevalets. Just before the village, a wooden footbridge covered in tavillons spans the stream. From the church at Crésuz, climb towards Les Planches via Route du Pra Derrey, then Chemin Louis-Ruffieux. The path reaches Cerniat via the hamlets of Utsets du Borgeat. After a refreshing break at the Hôtel de la Berra, retrace your steps as far as the Buchs garage to take the Chemin du Vieux Moulin down to the Javro. After crossing the river, the route climbs back up through the forest towards the village of Charmey. In Charmey, the best way to take advantage of the many signposted heritage features is to follow the Itinéraire des barons du fromage - signposted in white - between the TP Corbetta stop and La Tzintre.
