Attractions and Places To See around Morlon - Top 20

La Berra, at 1,719 m, is one of the most beautiful vantage points in the Fribourg Pre-Alps. From the summit, the view extends over the Lake of Gruyère, the surrounding Jura heights, and on clear days, far into the Bernese and Vaud Alps. Several hiking trails lead up to it. A circular hike across the wide alpine pastures is particularly charming.

The 360-degree panorama From the summit, you can enjoy a gigantic panoramic view: To the north: The glittering Lake Geneva and the entire Mittelland region up to the Jura. To the south & east: The mighty peaks of the Mont Blanc massif and the Bernese Alps. 🍴 Gastronomy & Observatory Summit restaurant: The modern restaurant Le Sommet is located directly next to the mountain station. It offers a large sun terrace and local specialities (such as real Gruyère fondue). 🚡 Ways to the summit The comfortable option (train): From Moléson-Village with the funicular to Plan-Francey, then change to the large cable car, which takes you directly to the summit. The sporty option (hiking trails): Via the west flank: A beautiful, classic mountain hiking trail from Plan-Francey (approx. 1 hour 45 minutes, T2). Via ridge paths: Those who ascend via the via ferratas (Le Pilier or La Face) reach the main summit after exiting via a magnificent, secured ridge path in approx. 20 minutes.

The shortest ascent is via the La Berra cable car from La Roche. From the mountain station it is less than 90 meters in altitude to the summit with the pyramid, which is one of Switzerland's triangulation points (fixed points for measuring Switzerland). These 80 or so pyramids were built between 1884 and 1970. About 60 of them still exist today. They are also shown on the 25, 50 and 100,000 scale maps, with a triangle and a dot in the middle. The Berra is also easily accessible from the Grau car park (accessible only in summer from Le Mouret) or from the Plasselbschlund. If you like it a little further, you can hike to the summit from the Schwarzsee via a high-altitude hike or from the charterhouse (monastery) of La Valsainte (municipality of Val-de-Charmey). The summit of La Berra can therefore be reached from completely different directions.

Very popular summit as it is easily accessible via the funicular to Plan-Francey and from there by cable car to Moléson. From the mountain station, the summit is only about 200m away with a good 30 meters in altitude. Most of the time there are many people on the mountain. A little further away from the mountain station you have peace and quiet again.
