Explore the Two Valleys Hike at Schwarzsee in the Fribourg Pre-Alps: alpine meadows, forests, and panoramic views across the Brecca Valley.
The Two Valleys Hike at Schwarzsee is an impressive panoramic trail leading through two characteristic pre-Alpine valleys. This varied route showcases the diverse landscapes of the Fribourg Pre-Alps, with green alpine meadows, mountain forests and wide-ranging views of the surrounding peaks.
Above the wild Brecca Valley rises the striking rocky ridge of Les Recardets, which also marks the linguistic border between German- and French-speaking Switzerland. This scenic circular hike starts at Schwarzsee and follows the northern side of the Recardets up to the Pas de Chamois, below the Patraflon. The trail then crosses the rocky ridge before descending through the Brecca Valley back to Schwarzsee.
Although the hike is not technically difficult, it requires good footing and is best suited to hikers who feel comfortable on uneven alpine terrain.
