Beautiful viewpoint at the highest point of the mountain. During the walk there you will not encounter any water fountains. It is important to bring enough water with you. There is a restaurant on the mountain if necessary.

A special feature of the Les Tenasses bog is its many carnivorous plants. It's well worth a visit and you can keep your feet dry on the beautifully laid-out boardwalk.

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.

Peat swamp with, among other things, carnivorous plants

We took the funicular and cable car to the top, and you are greater with an amazing view. It is an easy climb to the top of Le Moleson, and well worth the detour. The first part of the hike down is steep, with some loose rubble,. The route does get easier and then you are treated to lovely fresh smells whilst walking through the trees and the flowers are colourful.

The view from the top of the Moléson on a clear day is truly incredible. You can admire the Gruyère Pre-Alps, the Vaudois, Savoyard and Bernese Alps. Among the emblematic summits, the Becca d'Audon or Oldenhorn, the Diablerets, the Dent de Morcles, the Tour d'Aï and the Tour des Mayens, the Dents du Midi... In addition, the restaurant is very well run with an efficient and motivated staff, but sometimes a little stressed (and that's normal!) in the face of the crowds. The place to visit in the Friborg Prealps!
