Dent du Bourgo, Mountain summit in Canton of Fribourg, Switzerland

The Dent du Bourgo stands at 1,909 meters above sea level, positioned between the valleys of Sarine and Motélon in the Swiss Prealps.

The mountain served as a reference point for local shepherds navigating through the Swiss Prealps, marking boundaries between grazing territories since the Middle Ages.

Local communities organize annual summer festivals near the mountain base, celebrating traditional Swiss Alpine customs through music and regional gastronomy.

The primary hiking trail starts from La Forcla at 1,546 meters, following marked paths that lead to the summit through forest sections and rocky terrain.

During winter months, the northern face of Dent du Bourgo maintains snow coverage longer than surrounding peaks due to its specific geographical orientation.
