The Relais Alpin prospers did to its location, catering to the buses of tourists making their way to and from the Montreux and Interlaken areas. It is situated about midway between the two, making for a convenient stopping-off point in the middle of the Alpine valleys studded with ski chalets. So, check the location box—once you find the place, that is (we drove around for over 90 mins on those lovely rural routes trying to find the place, which even a GPS wasn’t of much help—a hint: it’s on the road between Aigle and Château-d’Oex, not Gstaad, at “Des Mosses,” which doesn’t rank mention on many atlases). Accommodations are basic, I would say. You’ve got the bare necessities here but no frills—adequate for what the average bus tourer (or skier) requires but perhaps less than other visitors are hoping for.
