Mont-Vully: Aérodrôme
Mont-Vully occupies a low ridge between Lake Murten and Lake Neuchâtel in the canton of Fribourg. The municipality takes its name from Mont Vully, a wooded rise above the Broye plain, while the aerodrome lies on open farmland below. This part of western Switzerland is shaped by vineyards as well as field cultivation: the Vully wine-growing area extends along slopes above Lake Murten. Môtier, Praz and Nant are among Mont-Vully’s settlements. The present municipality was created in 2016 through the merger of the former communes of Bas-Vully and Haut-Vully. The aerodrome adds a recreational aviation role to an area defined by rural land and wine-making.

Mont-Vully sits on the northern shore of Lake Murten in Switzerland’s canton of Fribourg, where vineyard-covered slopes rise towards Mont Vully. The municipality brings together the former communities of Bas-Vully and Haut-Vully, with lakeside settlements including Môtier, Praz and Sugiez. Vully wine is its best-known local product, made from grapes grown on sunny terraces above the water. Archaeological remains on Mont Vully attest to a fortified Celtic settlement, while the shore places the commune within the wider Three Lakes region. Trails through the vines and beside the lake reveal the measured rhythm of this Swiss wine-growing country.

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.
