Jaun - Dorf

The waterfall in the centre of the vil- lage and the vicinity of the Old Church are situated in a force field with a remarkable amount of positive energy. The Old Church is now a concert hall and houses the Cantorama Museum, the home of Fribourg choral music (open July/August, Sundays from 2.00 to 5.00 pm). The cemetery of the Catholic Church, with its hand-carved wooden crosses, is worth a visit.

Jaun is surrounded by majestic mountain peaks such as the Gastlosen mountain range and offers unspoiled nature and wonderful leisure activities. The Gastlos- en Express brings hikers to the Alpine tavern. This is where the Gastlosen tour starts with rest stops in the legendary mountain restaurant Chalet du Soldat and the family-friendly Alpine tavern Chalet Grat. The Gastlosen mountain range, with over 800 routes, is a first-rate destination for climbers. The well-known mountaineer Erhard Loretan climbed here, virtually on the doorstep. Walkers have also come to the right place here: A panoramic path leads from the top station to the vantage point with a view of the Gastlosen. The spectacular “Grossmutterloch”, a 15-metre high and five-metre wide window in the rock, is legendary. The one and a half hour detective trail and the Gastlosen geological path are enjoyable activities for families.

In winter, Jaun is a family-friendly skiing area and offers magnificent routes for ski- and snow- shoeing tours. The cross-country ski runs are among those in the region with a virtual guarantee for snow and the six-kilometre long sledge run is renowned far and wide.
