Cheyres-Chables: Cheyres Chables - Port

Cheyres-Chables has served as a lakeside municipality in the canton of Fribourg since 2017, when the former communes of Cheyres and Châbles joined together. It occupies part of Lake Neuchâtel’s southern shore, where the water meets low agricultural country between Yverdon-les-Bains and Estavayer-le-Lac. Lake Neuchâtel is Switzerland’s largest lake lying wholly within the country, and its shores include reedbeds and wetlands. Vineyards and farming remain central to the local character, while the waterfront connects the commune with the wider Three Lakes region.

Built around the Sarine River and the medieval city of Fribourg, Fribourg developed into a bilingual Swiss canton where French and German meet. The Sarine cuts a deep bend beneath the old town, whose Gothic Cathedral of St Nicholas is a defining landmark. To the south, the Prealps rise toward the Gruyère district, known worldwide for Gruyère AOP cheese; northward, the canton reaches Lake Murten and Lake Neuchâtel. Medieval towns, dairy farming and university life give this part of western Switzerland a distinct rhythm. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Fribourg.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
