Mont Vuarat

Mont Vuarat is a mountain in the Veveyse District that rises to 985 meters above sea level. Its slopes are covered with beech, fir, and spruce forests that shape the local landscape.

The mountain formed through sedimentary processes over millions of years and displays reddish pudding stone in its geological structure. These rock formations are the result of ancient natural depositional processes.

Local residents maintain traditional agricultural practices and cattle grazing activities on the southern slopes of Mont Vuarat throughout the seasons.

A circular hiking path around the mountain covers about 7 kilometers with roughly 280 meters of elevation gain and takes about 2 hours to complete. The route passes through different elevation zones and offers varying views along the way.

The mountain drops steeply to the Veveyse river and marks a natural boundary between the cantons of Fribourg and Vaud. This elevation difference creates a dramatic landscape feature.
