The Surroundings
Located between town and nature, Auberge aux 4 Vents offers many options for visits and walks.
On the town side, Fribourg, nestled around the Sarine River, unfolds its squares and old alleys under the visitors’ feet and offers a rich cultural life.
On the nature side, fields and woods overlook Lake Schiffenen. Spanning the lake, the magnificent Grandfey Viaduct connects the French- and German-speaking parts of the country at a point marked by a monumental installation by artist Richard Serra. Just across the bridge lies the troglodyte hermitage of La Madeleine.
A little farther out, you can reach Murten, Gruyères, or Bern in thirty minutes, and the major Swiss cities or the Alps in just over an hour.
