With glass art, medieval towns, flamboyant natural displays and fine food, you can live life to the full in autumn in Romont and the surrounding area.
The beauty of the Country of Glass and Stained Glass is enhanced when the natural colours of autumn combine with the play of light from the stained glass. In autumn, the colours of the leaves are warm and flamboyantly bright, the countryside is strikingly beautiful, and the streets of the various towns become calm and peaceful.
It’s an excellent time to walk all round the town walls of Romont admiring the unrestricted views of the surrounding hills, immerse yourself in the beauty of nature along one of the marked footpaths or mountain bike trails, stroll through the narrow medieval streets of Rue or, indeed, enjoy a comforting hot drink in a café.
Restaurants offer autumnal menus such as the traditional Bénichon or game dishes, highlighting seasonal local produce. You will also enjoy a good Fondue with Gruyère PDO and Vacherin Fribourgeois.
So, if you are looking for poetry, peace and good food, you should come to Romond and the surrounding area this autumn, to experience beauty, calm and many pleasures.
