La Roche - La Berra
简介
La Berra, situated in La Gruyère, is a small but beautiful recreational and sports area. The view from the 1,719 metre high summit of La Berra is spectacular. You can see Lake Gruyère with the Isle of Ogoz and far beyond, the Three-Lakes Region and the Jura, past the Fribourg Pre-Alps, to the snow-covered peaks of the Bernese Alps.
Located in the vicinity of Fribourg and Bulle, skiing began here in the 1920s. Today, the family-friendly La Berra offers a hybrid lift with chairs and cable cars, as well as four ski lifts. La Berra is a popular venue with over 20 kilometres of slopes, three restaurants, a ski school, signposted snowshoe trails and a Vitaski touring trail for competitive ski tourers.
In summer, La Berra is a wonderful, peaceful hiking area. Forest, pastures and typical Alpine chalets, with their shingle roofs, characterise the landscape. The signposted hiking trails can be combined with the cableway, which is accessible by public transport from La Roche at the weekends. From the Buvette de La Berra, the restaurant at the summit, it is possible to take panoramic walks to Le Gîte d’Allières Alpine tavern or to the nice Buvette du Gros Cousimbert, for example. Visitors who cannot get enough of the spectacular views of Kaiseregg and Schwyberg can spend the night in two Alpine huts.
It is very easy to get into holiday mood on the theme trails, the playground and by studying the panorama boards in La Berra and its surroundings. Lake Gruyère is the place for visitors who want to enjoy a view on the water. Mountain bikers rave about La Berra. A wonderful circular route starts in Plaffeien and goes along the ridge, around the Plasselbschlund, to the summit of La Berra, returning via Schwyberg.
