Imposing Rossens dam which forms Lake Gruyère. Height 83m. The water is transported to the Hauterive power station by a penstock in order to be processed.

The Cistercian Abbey of Hauterive was founded in 1138 by William of Glâne. The abbey was abolished in 1848. After a 91-year break, during which Hauterive first housed the cantonal agricultural school and then the teacher training college, monastic life was able to restart in 1939 thanks to the arrival of a group of Austrian monks from the Wettingen-Mehrerau Abbey (Vorarlberg). At the beginning of the 21st century, the abbey has about twenty monks from Switzerland and various European countries. The monastery church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption was built between 1150 and 1160. The arcades of the cloister adjoining the church to the south have been preserved on three sides. The lower parts have Romanesque double columns and round arches and date from the 12th century. The upper arcade openings with tracery are from the 14th century. The cloister is covered with Gothic ribbed vaults.

The Jean Tinguely ice rink.

The Passage à l'île d'Ogoz is a natural causeway that connects the continent to the island of Ogoz in Lake Gruyère. The island is home to the ruins of two medieval castles and a restored chapel, which you can discover after crossing the lake on foot. The passage is only accessible when the water level is below 668 m. So check the conditions before leaving.
