Cruise on Lake Murten: the boat from Morat
What if Sunday's outing took place on the water? At the Morat landing stage, the boats of the LNM company set off towards the three lakes. Children aged 6 to 16 travel at half price, free on Saturdays, and under-6s pay nothing.
Rocheray Beach: swimming at altitude on Lake Joux
Looking for a swim that really cools you down? At over 1,000 metres of altitude, Rocheray Beach unrolls its lawn on the shore of Lake Joux, with tables and spots for barbecues. The neighbouring watersports base rounds off the day.
Île Saint-Pierre: the boat crossing from La Neuveville
A whole island just for the day, how does that sound? From La Neuveville, a boat drops you on the Île Saint-Pierre, in the middle of Lake Biel: quiet beaches, picnic areas, a former priory and shaded paths. On Saturdays, children travel free.
Île d'Ogoz: the solar boat crossing to the ruins on the lake
Do your children dream of an island with a real castle? In the middle of Lake Gruyère, the Île d'Ogoz keeps two towers from the 13th century and a small white chapel. You reach it by solar-powered boat from the Port du Bry, and on a few days each year, on foot.
La Pointe Beach in Morlon: the big beach on Lake Gruyère
Looking for the beach on Lake Gruyère that has everything? It is La Pointe, in Morlon, which everyone calls Morlon Beach: toilets, outdoor showers, fire pits, beach volleyball and paddle rental, with the Île d'Ogoz and the Prealps as scenery. Free access.
Botterens Beach: natural swimming at the end of the lake
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.
La Roche Beach: the natural shore of Lake Gruyère
Fancy a beach where you can still hear the birds? The one at La Roche is among the least busy on Lake Gruyère: generous vegetation, calm water and a refreshment stand in summer. It is also from this shore that kayak and paddle outings set off.
Pont-la-Ville Beach: the quiet little beach on the lake
Escaping the crowded beaches? The one at Pont-la-Ville is smaller and more intimate, with clear water and welcoming banks on the shore of Lake Gruyère. A quiet corner with open access, two steps from the Golf de la Gruyère and the Rossens dam footbridge.
