Description

Join me for a unique evening snowshoe walk and a delicious cheese fondue in Moléson-sur-Gruyères, in the beautiful Swiss Alps! This small village is located in the municipality of Gruyères, in the canton of Fribourg, and it is here where the famous cheese of the same name is made.

This magical experience starts with an evening snwowshoe stroll under the stars. We can hear the crunching sound of the snow under our feet, as we walk by enjoying the quietness and peace of this beautiful place.

We arrive at the vénérable Pènî chalet and we immerse ourselves into a world of legends. When the wind whistles outside, carrying swirls of snow, we enjoy a typical delicious creamy cheese fondue around the fire, in a cozy atmosphere, listening to old country tales about the adventures of elves, fairies, goblins, witches and chamois.

If you have more time available, next day you could climb the Moléson (2002m), a landmark peak of the Fribourg Pre-Alps. You can reach the summit by cableway and funicular. The Moléson Massif is a popular hiking area and ski region, with a restaurant at the top.

You can also visit the show dairy in Moléson village, where the world famous Gruyère AOC cheese is made twice a day over a log fire, in the traditional way.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
