Located directly in Charmey, this 4-star hotel is the perfect base for your gourmet tour. The best part: a heated tunnel connects the hotel directly to the Bains de la Gruyère – ideal for regenerating after your ride. Enjoy first-class comfort, regional cuisine, and the convenience of safely storing your bike before you start your deeply relaxed ride into the Freiburg Prealps the next morning. https://fribourg.ch/de/la-gruyere/hotels/hotel-cailler/

I enjoy La Berra in both winter and summer, but there's a but. A dirt track should be built or redone, without the large rocks and ruts towards Cousimbert.

Charmey is a small resort nestled in the Jogne valley. The village is in the heart of the magnificent Friborg Pre-Alps, and it is a magical place for running.
