Rougemont nestles into the pre-Alpine landscape and is the highest resort of the Pays-d’Enhaut holiday region in Canton Vaud. The name stems from the red rock outcroppings north of the village.
Rougemont has preserved its rich cultural and architectural heritage to the present day.
Some of them are over 400 years old and richly embellished with carvings and frescos, decorated with flowers and inscribed with the names of the builder and first owner.
Old customs contrast with diverse modern leisure activities that are on offer in both summer and winter.
Not much shopping in this corner of the valley...
... but oh so many opportunity to take pictures.
Old tools recycled...
... modern doorbells clashing...
... endless secrets hidden behind closed doors...
... even the stacked firewood looks orderly.
Baby, it's cold outside!
