Switzerland is known for its mountains (Alps in the south, Jura in the northwest) but it also has a central plateau of rolling hills, plains, and large lakes. Switzerland is renowned over the world for downhill skiing, and the country is also great for many other outdoor activities, including hiking and mountain biking. Mountain climbing, from easy to very hard, can also be found in Switzerland, and there is hardly another place with a longer tradition for this. Some routes, like the North face of the Eiger, have become near-mythical due to the hardships, sacrifice and even deaths suffered by the first people to climb them. And because of the breathtaking views, travelling from one place to another by car, bus, train or bike along alpine roads and railroads is often an experience in itself.

The canton is home to the artificial Lake of Gruyère. The Vanil Noir is the highest peak of the canton. The canton has a strong cultural heritage such as the Saint-Nicolas cathedral of Fribourg, the castle of Gruyères, the castle of Bulle, the museum of art and history of Fribourg and the Roman museum in the Vallon. There are also some really nice trails to hike or bike across the canton, during the summer as well as through the winter cold days.
