Top Reasons to Go to Fribourg and Neuchatel
Stir the melting pot: Fondue famously originated in the Neuchâtel area—try the two-cheese fondue neuchâteloise that honors Switzerland's fabulous Gruyère and Emmental cheeses, or opt for fondue fribourgeoise, a delicious Vacherin Fribourgeois delight.
Switzerland's largest lake: Lac de Neuchâtel is a great place for a boat trip, wakeboarding, or savoring the fine fish served on its shores.
You say Schloss: And I say Château. In either language, this area has some of Switzerland's most impressive castles, from Grandson to Gruyères.
Homegrown talent: Whether it's the clockwork extravaganzas of Tinguely or the disturbing alienlike creations of Giger, these two sculptors are true knockouts.
Gorgeous Gruyères: Step into a postcard in this perfect specimen of a medieval stronghold, with its single main street cozy within the ramparts.
