Totem8 course

8 nations – 8 totems – 8 institutions

To discover from 15 to 31 May 2026 in the City of Fribourg!

The Totem8 project invites you to explore Fribourg while discovering 8 totems created in collaboration with local institutions as part of the 2026 Ice Hockey World Championship. It consists of an urban trail allowing you to discover eight totems representing the eight nations hosted in Fribourg.
