Fribourg region Stag party

This rather small tourist region consists of three rather different vacation areas. It includes a foothills of the Alps, part of the Three Lakes Country and the city of Fribourg itself. With its steep alleys, the river Saane in the valley and its impressive cathedral, Fribourg is undoubtedly worth a visit. The part of the Three-Lakes Region that belongs to Fribourg is limited to the southern area below Lakes Biel, Neuchâtel and Morat.

In the Fribourg Pre-Alps, you can find over 1,200 alpine huts. They are known for their typical shingle roofs, which are part of the region's cultural heritage. In the Gruyère Pays-d’Enhaut Nature Park, they even offer workshops on shingle making.

The Poya refers to the upward movement of livestock herds that takes place every year in May, accompanied by a folk festival in the village of Estavannens. In October, the herds return to the lowlands. The descent from the mountain is also celebrated, as it is the most well-known of the traditional mountain festivals.
