Schwarzsee - your perfect destination for nature, cycling and relaxation
The Schwarzsee, nestled in the idyllic Fribourg Pre-Alps, delights with its glistening mountain lake framed by impressive peaks and dense forests. This picturesque landscape is the perfect place to combine nature, sporting adventure and relaxation.
Cycling enthusiasts get their money's worth in Schwarzsee: the Gurnigel Alpine Pass is one of the most popular and scenic routes. Schwarzsee and the surrounding area also offer mountain bikers the right challenge for every level. Numerous alpine huts and mountain inns invite you to take a break along the way, where you can fortify yourself with regional specialties to round off the day's sporting activities in style.
In addition to the diverse cycle routes, there are also wonderful hiking trails covering around 200 kilometers. There is also plenty on offer for families: The “Häxeweg” themed trails around the lake or the “Riggliweg” on the Riggisalp keep young and old entertained on foot. The toboggan run provides more action. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can enjoy the lake tour or take the chairlift to the Riggialp. In summer, the Schwarzsee is also a wonderful place to swim.
Schwarzsee is not only an ideal starting point for sporting activities, but also a place that delights all generations with its relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to its proximity to the city of Fribourg and numerous events and offers throughout the Sense district, Schwarzsee is easily accessible and offers experiences for young and old all year round. Whether you are a cyclist, hiker or nature lover - at Schwarzsee, sporting challenges and the tranquil beauty of the Swiss Alps combine to create an unforgettable experience.
