Fribourg Pre-Alps Trail: Fribourg – Plaffeien
Explore regional route 78, the “Fribourg Pre-Alps Trail”. Split into five stages, the “Fribourg Pre-Alps Trail” takes you from the town of Fribourg to Schwarzsee, then through La Gruyère, below the Gastlosen mountain chain to the Pays-d'Enhaut, arriving at the Château d'Oex, the Eldorado of hot-air ballooning.
The route for the first stage of the trail passes through mountains and valleys to reach the Upper Sense, through a landscape characterised by dense forest and farm pastureland criss-crossed by rivers and streams. It also crosses villages and hamlets typical of the German-speaking part of the canton of Fribourg.
