Bulle, located in the canton of Fribourg and 27 kilometers south of the city of Fribourg, is the economic center of the district of La Gruyère which is world-famous for its cheese. Nestled among rolling green hills with the majestic peaks of the Fribourg Pre-Alps in the near distance, the town and its surrounds make for a picture-perfect Swiss landscape. Downtown Bulle’s wide streets and central square bustle with shops, offices, restaurants, a lively night life, and every amenity a traveler needs. Booking your Bulle budget hotel here at EasyToBook.com will give you easy access to the town and its nearby activities and points of interest. In the summer, enjoy water sports on Lake Gruyère and paragliding, hot air ballooning, and hiking in the nearby mountains. In the winter, excellent skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing and snowshoeing opportunities abound.
Bulle is an attractive mix of the old and the new. The town was almost completely destroyed by fire in 1805 and was largely rebuilt over the next 50 years. Two of the few early landmarks that remain are the Capuchin friary and the huge thirteenth century castle built by the bishops of Lausanne. A short trip from your Bulle hotel brings you to the Museum of La Gruyère, a showcase of the history, folk art, and traditions of the town and the Gruyère region. Before you leave your Bulle vacation, experience the flavor of days gone by in another way by taking the scenic and historic Gruyère Retro Train that runs between Bulle and Montbovon.
