Discover the region
Culture lovers will find surprising trails to explore the capital city of Freiburg and its surroundings. And the Fribourg Pre-Alps, characterized by austere natural beauty, are just as enchanting when viewed from a hiking trail as they are from a bike saddle or even the Via Ferrata.
Hikers also feel like they're in paradise: The official network of hiking trails covers a good 1800 kilometers. Thematic trails tempt even those who do not usually like to hike, and the "Grand Tour des Vanils" guarantees days of long-distance hiking. The network of bike trails in the Fribourg region includes three national, nine regional and four local routes, and the continuously signposted route around Lake Murten is a crowd favorite! The Panorama Bike Route No. 2 offers a true "best of" the Fribourg Pre-Alps.

Nature and culture in the region of Fribourg
Much of the region of Fribourg is flat to hilly, characterized by traditional agriculture, forests and protected moorland. In the south, however, the region also has its share of high mountains - at 2390 m, the Vanil Noir is the highest peak. Between the mountain peaks and the sandy beaches on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel stretch a variety of natural landscapes, with pretty historic towns in between. Perfect for discovering on foot or by bike!
A trip to the region of Fribourg is worthwhile all year round. In spring you can walk among blooming flowers, in summer you can escape the heat by swimming at Lake Neuchâtel, Lake Morat or the many smaller lakes in the region. In autumn you can enjoy the golden rays of the sun on an alpine hut, surrounded by colorful forests. Or you can visit the wine festivals of the two wine-growing regions! A trip to snow-covered Fribourg is also worthwhile in winter, for example for a city trip or snowshoe hiking.
Off to the outdoors: scenic highlights
Pristine nature, great biodiversity and plenty of fresh air await you in Fribourg. In the south of the region lies the legendary Schwarzsee in the primeval landscape of Brecca, an enchantingly wild valley that was formed tens of thousands of years ago by melting glaciers. Surrounded by steep limestone walls, you can hike here across picturesque alpine meadows and through ancient mountain forests. On the way, there are several alpine huts where you can stop to enjoy the magnificent view and regional specialties.
Further south, on the other side of the imposing peaks above the Breccaschlund, lies the Jaun waterfall. Directly opposite the pretty village center, up to 6000 liters of water per second plunge down into the Jaunbach - a true natural spectacle!
