This covered wooden bridge, built in 1667, spans the Sarine gorges and offers a breathtaking view of the natural landscape. The bridge was part of an ancient mule route which facilitated the cheese trade in the 17th century. Today, you can access it by running and enjoy the charm of the authentic villages of Lessoc and Montbovon. The bridge is also a highlight of the Gruyère Pays-d'Enhaut Regional Natural Park, where you can discover other cultural and natural riches.
