Fribourg
Hiking guide in Fribourg
Fribourg is built around a loop of the Sarine gorge, which means the town changes altitude constantly and almost nothing here is flat. That makes it unusually good for conditioning work and unusually demanding for anyone expecting a gentle riverside jog. The sports facilities sit mostly on the plateau above the old town, a short walk or a funicular ride from the centre.
It is also genuinely bilingual — the language border runs through the canton, and the river through the town is roughly where it falls. Our coaches here typically work in both French and German, which is rarer than it sounds and worth knowing if you would rather train in one than the other. Say which you prefer when you book.
The route is chosen on the day
Switzerland has extraordinary trail signage and it still catches people out, because conditions change fast with altitude and season. Your guide picks the route after seeing the forecast and meeting you, which is the whole point of hiring one rather than following a blog post.
What to bring
Proper boots, layers, water, and something to eat. Your guide carries a first aid kit and knows what the weather is doing. If you are unsure whether your boots are adequate, they probably are not — say so when you book and your guide will tell you what to get.

Common questions
How fit do I need to be?
Say honestly what you can manage in the notes and the route is built around it. A half day at a gentle pace on a good path is achievable for most people in reasonable health.
Can we bring children?
Yes, with the route chosen accordingly. Tell us their ages — it is the single biggest factor in what is sensible.
What happens if the weather turns?
Your guide decides, and that decision is not negotiable. If the day is cancelled for safety we move it or refund it.
