Fribourg - Chavannes-sous-Orsonnens

Leaving behind the monumental Freiburg, this long stage ventures into the heart of the Franche-Comté countryside. The route is demanding, with an undulating profile and frequent ups and downs. It's a day to enjoy the beauty of rural landscapes, with farms, forests, and views of the Prealps. The arrival at the walled city of Romont, perched on a hill, is a final stage with great medieval charm. This stage requires good physical effort, but rewards with spectacular scenery.
