History
The Championships of the Pays-d'Enhaut was established in September 1896 and was first played at the Tennis Club de Château-d'Oex, Château-d'Œx, Switzerland and continued there until 1903. In 1904 following the building of the new grand Hôtels Berthod[3][4] and its clay tennis courts the event was moved there until it was discontinued in 1939 due to the outbreak of World War II.
