One region, three worlds


FRIBOURG REGION is somewhat a world turned upside down... cold, limestone summits are found in the south and mild, even Mediterranean-like lakesides in the north. On its small territory, two languages coexist and three very distinct holiday regions overlap.
The Temptation To Live Like Heidi...
In the Pre-Alps region, tradition and modernity rub shoulders every day. After feeling as if you were living in Heidi's time, you'll suddenly find yourself in Gruyères amid the works of H.R. Giger, the creator of Alien! If you like to hike or bike, the resorts of Schwarzsee, Charmey, Bulle, Moléson and Les Paccots will give you dream come true settings. Whatever you do or don't do, do not miss the Castle of Gruyères and the demonstration cheese dairy.

Crossing Bridges!
In Fribourg, the canton's capital and economic centre, you'll find a cultural treasure trove that goes back to the Middle Ages. Fribourg is known for its cultural plurality, university, and bridges over the Sarine River that link the French speaking part of Switzerland to the German speaking part. Our heart's delights: the Espace Jean-Tinguely - Niki de Saint Phalle in Fribourg and the Vitromusée in Romont.



How Sweet Life In The Three-Lake Region Is!
In less than an hour's drive from the Pre-Alps, you'll come across the Mediterranean mildness of the Medieval cities of Murten and Estavayer-le-Lac. Long before the 2002 Swiss National Fair, even at the time of the Celts and Romans, the Three-Lakes Region was a favourite place to holiday. The Papiliorama in Kerzers and the Grande Cariçaie on the southern side of Lake Neuchâtel are truly worth your while.
