🇨🇭 Romont

Major

Switzerland

Romont is a small hilltop town in the canton of Fribourg with a well-preserved medieval centre, and its station lies at the foot of the hill on the main SBB line connecting Bern with Lausanne through the Fribourg Mittelland. The station is served by intercity and regional trains, offering convenient connections to both Bern and Lausanne in under an hour, and is a stop used by travellers visiting Romont's stained glass museum — one of the finest of its kind in Europe. A funicular or steep road connects the lower station area with the historic town centre perched on its distinctive rocky spur above the Glâne valley.
