Ski resorts in Canton Fribourg
The 6 ski resorts in Canton Fribourg tracked by meteo-ch.ch, each with its village and summit altitude. Villages range from 900 to 1 100 m; the highest point is Le Moléson at 2 002 m. Every resort has its own weather page, computed at two altitudes — village and slopes.
| Resort | Municipality | Village | Summit | Ski area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charmey | Val-de-Charmey | 900 m | 1 630 m | Charmey |
| Jaun | Jaun | 1 015 m | 1 700 m | Jaun |
| La Berra | La Roche | 1 000 m | 1 700 m | La Berra |
| Les Paccots | Châtel-Saint-Denis | 1 060 m | 1 500 m | Les Paccots |
| Moléson-sur-Gruyères | Gruyères | 1 100 m | 2 002 m | Moléson |
| Schwarzsee | Plaffeien | 1 050 m | 1 750 m | Schwarzsee |
The three highest
By summit altitude — the ones whose season lasts longest:
- Moléson-sur-Gruyères — 2 002 m (Le Moléson)
- Schwarzsee — 1 750 m (Kaiseregg)
- La Berra — 1 700 m (La Berra)
Altitude makes the season
Across these 6 resorts, the gap between the lowest and the highest reaches 502 metres. That is the difference between a season that depends on snowmaking and one that holds from November to April without trying.
The useful rule: the rain-snow line rises about 150 metres per degree. A village at 900 m sees rain replace snow far earlier than one at 1 100 m — and whether the upper slopes stay skiable is decided by the summit, not the village.
