Here you can breathe in the pure air of our mountains and forests. Explore Gruyère's green pastures, its herds of cattle and when you are between Pringy and Moléson- Village, stop to admire the traditional alpine chalets, with their shingle roofs.
 

A 4-km trail set with 8 instructive panels illustrating the protective role of forests in mountain areas. Set off at the base of the Moléson-sur-Gruyères lift.
