Newsletter December 2010



Winter always casts a magical spell over FRIBOURG REGION. It is the perfect time to get together with friends and family, to hop on a sledge, pull on your snow-shoes or hit the ski slopes and enjoy the bracing, fresh air of the Fribourg countryside.
 

The magnificent procession of St Nicholas, patron saint of Fribourg, takes place on the 1st Saturday in December every year. This year it takes place on 4th December – an event not to be missed under any circumstances.
 

Wrap yourself in the warm atmosphere of Advent in La Gruyère, with big and small celebrations alike to mark the end of 2010.
 

In Estavayer-le-Lac our magical nativity scenes and the Christmas market are a feast for the eye and a joy for the heart.
 

Schwarzsee offers original events and all inclusive offers to celebrate Christmas with a twist.
 

The Christmas market runs from 10-12 December 2010 – three days to immerse yourself in the magic of Christmas in the medieval city of Murten.
 

24 days and 24 different artists: the Advent programme devised for the artist’s trail of the "Y’a q’A" gallery promises lots of surprises. As tradition demands, the trail increases day by day until 24 December, with a new sculpture illuminated along the path each evening.
 

For all children: Father Christmas comes to Les Paccots on 26.12.2010! Come and meet him skiing, snowshoeing or welcome him at the end of the afternoon in front of the Tourist Office!
