I was at the International VW Meeting in Château-d'Oex Switzerland from 28th to 30th August 2015. It was superb!
2015 was edition #19 and the VW Show was organized by the Lemania Coccinelle-Club. The motto was „Let’s Rock” and the meeting area was decorated with a huge Let’s Rock sign and Guitars.
I started Friday in Germany with a flight to Geneva and after 150 kilometer with a rental car, I arrived at the evening in Château-d'Oex. At the “Landi House” was a good atmosphere and many VW fans arrived in the dark night.
Saturday morning at about 7:15 a.m. was a hot air balloon flying over the VW meeting. WOW, that was a great start of the day. After that, I had a look at the camping places and took great pictures.
I hiked up the hill and visited the old church in Château-d'Œx. From the top are great views of the VW meeting. At about 3:35 p.m. started the “Pays d’Enhaut” VW Parade in the district of Riviera-Pays-d'Enhaut. The sun was down very early at about 7:00 p.m., because Château-d'Oex is surrounded by Alp Mountains. This was the time for VW talks with barbecue, open air live music and cold drinks.
Again, Sunday morning was a hot air balloon flying over the VW meeting, but this time the balloon was quickly moving in the mountains around Château-d'Oex. I took pictures with the great morning light while some VW fans packed after breakfast and left the VW meeting. At about 9:30 a.m. I had to say goodbye.
I can highly recommend the VW Meeting in Château-d'Oex. It is very well organized by the Cox Club and the location is great.
