Activities for children in Corbières
Set on the eastern shore of Lake Gruyère, Corbières is one of those Fribourg municipalities where the water is part of everyday life. The village overlooks the lake, and its beach, at the spot known as La Montagnetta, slopes gently down to water that reassures parents of young children.
The municipality is also home to one of the few rental bases on the lake: licence-free boats, kayaks and stand up paddleboards make it possible to discover the wooded shores and the Île d'Ogoz other than from a towel. A few minutes' drive away, Bulle, Gruyères and the Maison Cailler in Broc easily round off a day out.

Corbières Beach: family swimming on Lake Gruyère
Looking for a lake beach where the little ones can paddle safely? At Corbières, at the spot known as La Montagnetta, the lawn slopes very gently down to the water in the shade of tall trees. Playground, fire pits for barbecues and completely free access.
Aventure Gruyère in Corbières: licence-free boats, kayaks and paddle
What if the whole family boarded the same boat, with no licence and no experience? In Corbières, Aventure Gruyère rents licence-free boats, kayaks from CHF 15 and paddleboards, including giant models. There are even treasure hunts on the water.
Why choose Corbières for a family outing?
Because within a few hundred metres the municipality brings together everything you look for on a summer's day: a free, well-equipped beach, and the means to head out onto the water. Corbières Beach is among the best equipped on Lake Gruyère, with its tables, its fire pits for barbecues, its toilets and its playground, all in the shade of tall trees.
For families who want to be active, Aventure Gruyère rents licence-free boats, kayaks and paddleboards in the village, including giant models on which a whole set of siblings can stand. It is the chance to reach coves that cannot be seen from the road and to approach the Île d'Ogoz and its medieval ruins.
Corbières also has the advantage of its position: in the heart of the Gruyère region, a few minutes from Bulle and its swimming pools, from the château de Gruyères and from the Maison Cailler. You can therefore base a swimming day here and keep a fallback plan for rain.
