Points of interest

Montbovon
Montbovon
Cited as early as 1255, Montbovon has long been a busy crossroads. Located along the Sarine, it is the junction of the roads of three worlds: the Gruyère, the Pays-d’Enhaut, and the Lake Geneva basin. This crossroads is also emphasized by the meeting of two railroads: Montreux Oberland Bernois (1903) and Transports Fribourgeois (1904), which brought modernity into these valleys.
