Intro

The Moléson is the iconic mountain of the Fribourg Alps. Its slopes are home to the Moléson-sur-Gruyères station, the starting point for the ascent to the 2,002m summit and the gateway to the largest ski area in the Pays de Fribourg.

Description

It is hardly surprising that the Moléson is much loved by the residents of Fribourg: accessible all year round, and without any stairs, the Moléson is renowned for its exceptional and unparalleled panoramic views from 2,002m up.

As a lookout point for the Pre-Alps, here you can contemplate French-speaking Switzerland in its entirety, from Lake Geneva to the famous peaks of the Bernese Oberland, from Mont Blanc to Jura and the Three Lakes region.
A viewing platform on the roof of the cable car’s upper station offers up spectacular panoramas.
The four restaurants, located over three floors, bring the chance to discover delicious regional dishes such as fondue moitié-moitié and double-cream meringues.

Winter

There are 30km of groomed slopes for skiing and snowboarding waiting to be discovered, set amid forests and pastures. The Moléson ski area is ideal for families – and that’s before you even contemplate the beginners’ area located at 1,100m in the heart of the village and the ski school. Experienced skiers are sure to want to tackle the route from the summit, while thrill-seekers can try out trickier moves in the snowpark, where bumps, kickers, rails and obstacles await eager freestylers. The 4km Moléson tobogganing run takes you through scenic landscapes of the Gruyère region.

Summer

Good reasons to discover the Moléson include its funicular, cable car, bobsleigh run, devalkart all-terrain karting, minigolf, two via ferrata routes, an Alpine cheese dairy that offers cheesemaking demonstrations, the Teysachaux ridge hike, a botanical trail and a playground.
