Sports & Leisure in Fribourg
In Fribourg, family sports have a scent of authenticity. In summer, we take a dip at the Bains de la Motta, the outdoor pool at the foot of the old town; in winter, public skating at the Saint-Léonard rink brings together all generations.
In between, FriBowling and its Laser District occupy rainy afternoons, and the historic funicular offers the most enjoyable ride in Romandy between the lower and upper town.
