Fribourg’s Alpine restaurants and taverns are legendary. Not just for their food and drink but for their cosy and welcoming vibe.
The Buvette au Creux du Feu is a 40-minute walk or a short drive away from the village of Broc. The Julmy-Brodard family still cooks their classic regional dishes on an open wood fire. When the weather permits, the Gantrischli Alpine cheese dairy, deep in the Schwarzsee hinterland, opens on winter weekends and serves up one of the best homemade ‘moitie-moité’ fondues in the region.
Local skiers, ski tourers, winter hikers and the Olympic slopestyle gold medal winner Mathilde Gremaud rave about Chalet de La Berra and its delicious traditional fare.
If you want to combine fitness and outdoor feasting, then head to Les Paccots and ask for a takeaway fondue kit.
A family-friendly treasure hunt takes place in the wintery landscapes of Estavayer-le-Lac and the Grande Cariçaie nature reserve, and ends with a well-deserved chocolate fondue.
