Jaun

The landscape around Jaun is defined by alpine pastures and the limestone ramparts of the nearby Gastlosen range, which have shaped both the settlement’s compact form and its farming-based local economy. Set in the upper valley of the Jogne, Jaun is Fribourg’s only German-speaking municipality in a canton otherwise largely French-speaking. Its churchyard is notable for carved wooden grave crosses, a distinctive expression of local funerary tradition. The road over Jaun Pass leads towards the Bernese Oberland, linking the Gruyère and Simmental regions. Move on to other webcams in Fribourg to compare pre-Alpine landscapes and settings around Jaun.
