"Col des Mosses" the road to Chateau D'Oex, about 4,750 feet

The van did get a little breathless as be reached the top of the pass

ChÃ¢teau-d'Oex is beautiful. This is the little pool at the municipal campsite:

The show:

Our van & the Speedster belonging to a French family we befriended from the campsite:

which I got to drive up the valley after the show:

Great location, people & weather

Cheers, Will

Good way to test the brakes with the trip home too!
I always enjoy trip posts from O/S - beautiful stuff.

And the dirt and the scrub photos too, eh?

Those alpine pics are amazing.
Were there a lot of buses at the show?
