Plage de Corbières
La Plage de Corbières stretches along the shores of Lake Murten, in French-speaking Switzerland, near the Fribourg region. Located about 0.6 km from Plage CH and 2 km from Plage de Gumefens, it borders an alpine body of water characterized by clear, cold waters, framed by the foothills of the Jura mountains and the agricultural lands of the Swiss plateau. The lake, 15 km long, offers a typical pre-alpine lake setting, with shores alternating between cultivated areas and small woodlands. This grassy beach distinguishes it from the sandy or rocky shores more common in the region. Unlike Plage de Gumefens, 2 km away, which offers more conventional access, Corbières retains a more natural and less developed character. The short grass gradually descends towards the water, creating a gentle transition between land and lake. The site offers a calm atmosphere, far from massive tourist facilities, where local visitors come to relax in the summer. The absence of supervision and specialized equipment makes it an informal swimming spot, popular with families and autonomous swimmers from the canton. No services are reported on site: no toilets, dedicated parking, or showers. Access is not adapted for people with reduced mobility. The site does not benefit from the Blue Flag label. Swimming is done under the personal responsibility of users, without official supervision.
About this spot
Corbières derives its name from the Old French 'corbeau' (raven) and the suffix '-ières' denoting a characteristic place. Lake Murten, formed by Quaternary glaciers, long served as a natural border between the cantons of Fribourg and Vaud. In the 19th century, the construction of the railway connecting Fribourg to Yverdon transformed these shores into leisure destinations for the urban bourgeoisie. Today, the lake's grassy beaches remain regional relaxation areas, little commercialized, where the practice of summer swimming perpetuates a Swiss tradition of direct connection with the lake environment.
