Romont is one of those towns that are easy to miss. It’s not along a motorway and it’s not even along a smaller B-road. In fact, you have to turn off a B-road and onto a country road with no lane markings to get to the hill that Romont is perched on, but only after passing through two other towns. I was actually mildly surprised that the IR15 train running hourly between Geneva and Luzern even calls at Romont.

Every time the train passed this town, I’d always wondered what was on that hill and behind the wall that spans between the Tour de Fribourg and the Tour de Sauvage. Now that I finally found the time to visit, I found out that there’s actually not much going on in Romont. Though if you are a fan of medieval architecture and fortifications, you’ll have a field day there.
