On the Cycling Route No. 9 from Gstaad to Rougemont, stay on the main road and pass Château-d'Oex quickly thanks to the good road surface and mostly gentle downhill. Just after Les Moulins, leave the main route to the left to follow No. 9 again. Continue on the varied secondary road until shortly before Montbovon. For the first time, there are a few bumpy spots and lonely sections. At the junction at the entrance to Montbovon, turn left towards Allières to start the climb. The higher the road leads, the lonelier, more beautiful but also more restless the route becomes. Despite the natural impressions, concentration on the road is required. Soon you ride through a lonely alpine valley and finally see the dam of Lac Hongrin. In a hairpin turn, go up to the short tunnel at wall height, and you have thus completed the main part of the ascent. Along the beautifully located lake, you go onto a concrete slab track used by the Swiss military up to La Lécherette. The best opportunity to let your gaze wander and enjoy the scenery. In La Lécherette, a long and beautiful descent to Château-d'Oex starts, with a good surface that lets you forget the "hell of the west." On the way back to Gstaad, it is worth following No. 9 through the villages and maybe even stopping for a coffee.
