Col de Jaman
Despite the route's dangers and sometimes questionable condition, this path had two big advantages: it was the shortest route between the Pays-d’Enhaut, the Gruyères, and Léman (Lake Geneva), and it was passable almost year-round. It was also an important gateway for the inhabitants of the high valleys who couldn’t live in complete autarky. In the 19th century, however, the route’s roll changed. Tourists in awe of the panorama (and the echo off the Dent de Jaman) replaced cheese-makers little by little. Tour guides of the time often cited Lord Byron: “This view is as beautiful as a dream!”
The pass, impassable by car and still closed to automobile traffic today, can be crossed (other than by foot) thanks to a tunnel built on the MOB (Montreux-Oberland bernois) railway line in 1904. This line remains the main public transportation axis between the Pays-dEnhaut, the Intyamon, and the Lake Geneva region.

Crésuz
This community is located on the slopes above Montslavens Lake, with an unobstructed view from its some 910 meters elevation. In the 17th century the village was completely destroyed by a fire. In 1667, the vicarage was the only building that escaped the flames. The Saint-Francois of Assisi Church was one of the first buildings rebuilt after the fire. It was constructed in late baroque style which is still visible today in the two interesting lateral altars found inside. The name Crésuz is from the latin cresta, meaning crest or hill. Today the municipality benefits from the development of regional tourism. Homes have sprung up in residential neighborhoods attracting population from the city of Bulle, not to mention a number of secondary residences.

Dâ Chapel
It is thanks to Jean-François Jaquet whose son miraculously survived an avalanche, that this chapel was constructed. The interior is decorated in immaculate neoclassic style. It evokes striped fabric with friezes and organic decoration and a faux arched vault. The Pieta dating from the end of the 19th century is located in middle of a small trompe-l’œil retable.
