Fronts
the Fronts is a village located at approximately 1000m of altitude, just above Montreux, in the canton of Vaud, Suisse. The village was one of the first ski stations of Switzerland.
December 15th with the March 15th (in so far as the snow conditions allow it) the road leading of the Fronts to Sonloup is closed with the motor vehicle traffic (except for the residents). It becomes a track of 2.5 km length toboggan (sledge), pleasant for all the family. The access to the beginning of the track is done by a railroad Funiculaire going back to 1910 - the tickets and charts day laborers are on sale at the station MOB (Montreux-Oberland Bernois) and of the toboggans can be rented for the day there.
The access to the Fronts can be fact either by the road or by the railroad of mountain of the MOB (Montreux-Oberland Bernois) starting from Montreux or of Gstaad.
Nested under the " tooth of Jaman" and the Rocks of Naye, the Fronts are an ideal center for the excursion. There are several marked out paths whose " celebrates it; Path of Narcisses". Every year in May, the hills are covered by the white flowers of the Narcisse S.
Ernest Hemingway resided little before the village (with the “Pension of the Forest” at the exit of Chamby) during a few months of the year 1922 and wrote there its experiments and pleasures of the race out of toboggan in several chapters of “ the good-bye with the weapons ”.
