Chilly mountains in the south and warm lakes in the north

The region Fribourg is a «crazy» region, a topsy-turvy world. Chilly mountains in the south and warm lakes in the north. Furthermore, two languages and three different holiday destinations within smallest space.

Heidi-feeling and modernity mixes at the foothills of the alps. For example in Gruyerès, where a medieval castle complex meets a futuristic museum of the Alien creator H.R. Giger or in Broc, where the Cailler chocolate factory with its widespreading smell is located. A must-see for every chocolate enthusiast.

Itinerary

From the medieval Murten along the Schiffenensee (Lake Schiffenen) and across contemplative, gently waved landscapes, to the gothic houses of Fribourg. The old town of Fribourg in the Üechtland is regarded as one of the most beautiful, medieval architectonic testimonials of europe. Thanks to more than 200 gothic facades from the 15. century it has maintained its medieval charm until today. Ever since the billingual city keeps the exchange of cultures alive.

Lovely is the landscape, man-made the lake: Lac de la Gruyère (Lake Gruyère), land of the «Crème de la Gruyère» (Cream Gruyère) and of the black-white specked cows. On the hill it stands, the castle-town Gruyères with its busy touristic hustle and bustle.

From Gruyères along the Seen-Route (lake route) to the small town of Bulle. Then up and down over panoramic hilltops and past rippling brooks through the Fribourg hills. Shady woodland along this rural route to medieval Romont provides variety.

After Romont, the route offers a wealth of impressions and touches both the foothills of the Alps and the Three Lakes Region with the historic towns of Avenches and Murten.

On this round trip you will discover the historic town of Murten and the pretty winegrowing villages in Vully. Ideal for those interested in history, but also for bathers, sun worshippers and lovers of good wine and regional products. Individual departure after return to Murten.

Tour character

The round trip through the Fribourgerland stretches from the flat three-lake-land into the alp´s foothills of Gruyères. But the waters of the Schiffenensee (Lake Schiffenen) and Greyerzersee (Lake Gruyère) ensure that the cycle stages are mostly flat and easy-going, so you can enjoy the tour without greater effort.
