Plage de Gletterens

Plage de Gletterens is a picturesque beach situated on the southern shore of Lake Neuchâtel in the Broye region of the Fribourg canton, Switzerland. This public beach is renowned for its tranquil and serene atmosphere, especially during the autumn season. Nestled within a protected natural environment, the beach is surrounded by a stunning landscape of a lake and mountains, offering a perfect setting for relaxation and enjoyment.

The beach is characterized by its beautiful white sand and turquoise blue water, creating a visually striking contrast against the surrounding reeds. Despite the gradual decrease in the size of the sandy beach each year due to natural erosion, it remains a favorite among visitors. It's particularly popular during the summer weekends when it tends to get crowded.

Plage de Gletterens offers a range of water sports activities and is a popular spot for swimming. It's an ideal destination for sunbathing and beach hopping. However, as there is no natural shade available at the beach, visitors are advised to bring their own beach umbrellas.

The beach is well-maintained and clean, contributing to a pleasant and enjoyable experience for all visitors. It features a range of amenities for the convenience of visitors, such as restrooms, showers, a restaurant, a beach volleyball court, and a grill. There are also picnic tables available for those who wish to enjoy a meal outdoors. Adding to the beach's charm are the colorful beach huts that enhance its picturesque setting.

The beach is open during the summer months from June to August and is suitable for all ages, including children, families, groups, and individuals. It is partially wheelchair accessible, ensuring that it's available to as many people as possible. In the vicinity of the beach lies the Grande Cariçaie, a large wetland and bird paradise, and the medieval town of Estavayer-le-Lac, both of which are popular attractions for visitors.
