These two walks are in Pays d'Enhaut, the valley of River Sarine, roughly between Gstaad and Gruyere. The trails are well-marked.

17th April (Sat). Chateux d'Oex - Gerignoz - Rougemont - Saanen (along Sarine river) - almost flat - initially overcast but later it was sunny. The scenery is better from Chateux d'Oex to Rougemont, but the walk from Rougemont to Saanen is right along the river, and probably more interesting. There is a narrow gorge at Gerignoz.

18th April (Sun). Montbovon - Sonlomont (along Corniche trail) - La Tine - Lac du Vernex - La Rossiniere (along Sarine). With Chirdeep, Vish, Sanket and Shrinivas - perfect weather. There is a nice view of the mountains from Sonlomont.

11th April (Sun). Blonay to Sonloup (near Les Avants) - with Werner and Vish - few hundred meters gain in altitude - better weather. There are no marking for Les Avants at Blonay. Cross the rail line and go on the right towards the river. Not a well marked walk.
