Montsalvens Dam

Highlight • Monument

Super beautiful location. From the wall you have a wide, open view over the lake. The hiking section goes directly over the dam.

The chapel of La Monse has loomed over the hillside for over four centuries, consisting of retaining walls, a shingle roof and a beautiful turret. The bench invites you to linger. The chapel was placed under the protection of Francis of Assisi, an Italian saint known for his love of nature and commitment to non-violence.

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lac de Montsalvens is a picturesque artificial lake located in the Fribourg, Switzerland region. It is surrounded by a network of running trails offering varied terrain and levels of difficulty. One of the most popular loops is the 9.7km route that starts and ends in Charmey, passing the impressive Montsalvens Dam, Europe's first double arch dam built in 1920-1921. Along the way, you can admire the view of the lake, the forest and the Dents Vertes mountain range. This trail is suitable for intermediate runners looking for a moderate challenge and rewarding experience.
