Rougemont
A chalet village in French-speaking Vaud, where an 11th-century Romanesque church stands alongside finely carved wooden houses. It is also the starting point of the Videmanette cable car.
Rougemont lies about 7 km west of Gstaad, in the French-speaking canton of Vaud. The village Church of St. Nicholas dates back to the 11th-century Cluniac abbey and is a rare early Romanesque church in Switzerland. Next to it stands Rougemont Castle, which is privately owned. The village has many 18th-century carved wooden houses, and its restaurants and galleries are refined and quiet. The MOB Golden Pass train runs there directly, and a cable car in the village climbs to the summit of Videmanette.
