Summer activities for children in Morlon

What if the swim had to be earned at the end of a path? At Botterens, right at the southern end of Lake Gruyère, the shore is reached on foot from the lakeside trail, level with Villarbeney. A natural, free and discreet spot for a family swim far from the big beaches.

Looking for a sweet afternoon with the family? In Broc, Maison Cailler takes you on an interactive, multisensory journey through the history of Swiss chocolate. And at the end, an all-you-can-eat tasting awaits young and old alike. The joy of cocoa, just a short walk from the Broc-Fabrique station.

Want a day of swimming outdoors with the kids? The Broc pool, nestled in the heart of Gruyère just steps away from the Maison Cailler, welcomes you with its outdoor pool, children's pool, and slide. A classic of the Fribourg summer, simple and refreshing.

Looking for a family cinema outing in the Gruyère? Le Prado, in Bulle, is the region’s main cinema with its three modern screens. Films on release, booster seats for children and easy access: a simple outing, in any weather.

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.

Want a day of swimming with the family at the foot of the Fribourg Pre-Alps? Just a stone's throw from Espace Gruyère, the outdoor municipal pool in Bulle features a large 50-meter pool, a slide for non-swimmers, and a paddling pool designed for the little ones. There's something to keep the whole tribe entertained, from the most adventurous to the most cautious.

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.

What if your children climbed from tree to tree above the valley? At the intermediate station of the Charmey cable car, the treetop adventure park features monkey bridges and zip lines among the fir trees. A course designed for all ages, accessible from 3 years old for their first steps in the heights.
