Intro
La Part-Dieu snowshoe trail offers an easy walk with historical interest. The route takes you around the perimeter walls of this ancient and imposing Carthusian monastery of La Part-Dieu, founded in the Middle Ages.
Description
From the Buvette des Amis de La Chia, you start the walk on a gentle slope down through the pastures. In the background you will see Bulle, the main administrative centre for the district of La Gruyère, followed by the slopes of the Gibloux and its mast.
Cross a small wooden bridge and continue towards the ancient Charterhouse of La Part-Dieu, founded in 1307 by the countess Catherine de Weissenbourg, wife of Pierre III de Gruyères. Originally home to around 15 monks, this legendary place is now managed by an association, which brings it alive with guided visits in the summer and cultural activities.
Follow the route past the old monastery walls uphill towards La Chia. After crossing the road, the trail descends slightly along the stream to the Buvette des Amis de La Chia, the starting point of the circular tour and a perfect opportunity to end this pleasant 45-minute tour.
