Accommodation Options in the Fribourg/Freiburg Region
A landscape from a different age, shaped by custom and tradition. Book unique accommodation – a holiday apartment, B&B or hotel – and fall under the spell of the Fribourg/Freiburg region.
Unique accommodation in a multifaceted region.
Tradition as far as the eye can see
The French and German-speaking region of Fribourg / Fribourg is known for the spicy cheese, the quality milk, the Gruyère Heavy cream and finest Meringues known throughout Switzerland. The cows spend the whole summer on the alp and eat various herbs on the pastures, which is why the milk and the Alpine cheese develop their unique flavor.
In spring and autumn a special event takes place: The shepherds lead their herds of cows and sheep to the alp or back to the valley. The Alpaufzug and the Alpine withdrawal are among the most famous traditional mountain festivals. The cows wear magnificent bells and a bouquet of colorful flowers on their heads. The alpine dairymen put on their "Brezdon" (alpine dairymen's jacket) and the ladies their "Dzaquillon" (haymaid's costume).
Besides find Schwingfeste are held in various villages. In this national sport, the winner does not win prize money, but cowbells (pranks) or as the main prize the Muni (bull). The wrestling kings are known throughout Switzerland and have the status of sports celebrities.
For those who are looking for peace and quiet in nature, we recommend a trip to the Black Lake in the eastern foothills of the Freiburg Alps is recommended. The area is known for the wild romantic natural scenery and the Breccaschlund, a mysterious alpine valley formed by glaciers. From the Riggisalp an easy circular hike leads from Alpbeizli to Alpbeizli back to the valley. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can stroll through the medieval city of Fribourg, drink a coffee and listen to the two languages.
There are pretty accommodation options in bed and breakfasts, apartments, homestays and hotels, with host families who still set great store by tradition and personal hospitality.
