ONE OF THE OLDEST ALPINE HOUSES IN THE CANTON OF FREIBURG
La Buvette du Gros-Plané consists of a chalet built at the beginning of the 19th century, making it one of the oldest alpine huts in the canton of Fribourg.
Burned down in 1921, the chalet was completely rebuilt a year later, in 1922.
For 43 years, Mrs. Progin and her husband have been running the diner inherited from Mr. Progin's great-grandparents.
In fact, for more than 4 generations, visitors have come to taste the specialties of the Gruyère region, prepared in an artisanal way by the Progin family.
With their own cattle, they produce their own milk and make various traditional homemade cheeses such as Sérac, Gruyère d'alpage and Vacherin. In addition, they also offer dishes based on hams prepared on site.
Finally, the bar has a play area for children with a slide and swings.
