We are an Australian couple who come to Europe for 5 months each year "buying" a car through Renault Eurodrive so that will be our main method of transport. We have allocated the first 12 days of July 2026 to stay 6 nights each in Luzern and then either Bern or Fribourg. Rick doesn't mention Fribourg, but I believe it's a lovely town with a medieval centre., does anyone know any more about it? Or should we base ourselves in Bern? Bern is handy for trips to Interlaken / Murren etc but Fribourg closer to Gruyeres, Gstaad (Col du Pillon) and Montreux. We will stay in Airbnb type apartments and staying longer allows us to be able to pick the best weataher to visit the mountains.
