Hiking

A beautiful hike through the landscapes of the La Gruyère region that takes you to the heights above Charmey to La Dent de Vounetz. The detour to the Vounetz mountain station is definitely worth it: a breathtaking view of the Jauntal, the Moléson and the Dents-Vertes chain awaits you.

The ascent with 650hm has it all. You get the reward at the Tissineva Hut. The way back with 9km is on pleasant paths.
