Fribourg

Fribourg perches on a limestone plateau above the Saane gorge, offering steep climbs and technical descents that define running and cycling here. The Morat-Fribourg race climbs 450m over 17km from lakeside to the old town; cyclists tackle the BergiBike events into the Prealps, with routes ranging from 47km to 68km through rolling pastures and forest. Runners find the Fribourg by Night Trail and local Marchethon as gritty alternatives to the region's classic road races, all within striking distance of the medieval centre at 650m elevation.
