Family Road Trips with Van-It-Up in Fribourg

Fribourg, Switzerland, perched along the banks of the Sarine River where medieval city walls meet green Jura foothills, offers a blend of outdoor charm and rich history. Van-It-Up brings a fresh spin to travel in this region with their Ford Nugget campervan, a fully outfitted mobile base camp perfect for family adventures in every season. This vehicle transforms the freedom of the open road into an inviting, comfortable journey for up to four travelers. With its built-in heating system, compact kitchen, and an outdoor shower, the van lets you roam beyond Fribourg’s charming old town and into the surrounding landscapes without sacrificing modern convenience.

The surrounding area is known for its rolling hills, dense beech and fir forests, and winding trails along the Sarine River, inviting visitors to hike, bike, or simply unwind in nature. Whether your route includes the nearby Gorges de la Jogne or the volcanic rock formations of the nearby Jura Plateau, the Ford Nugget offers a seamless way to experience diverse terrain—from rural farmscapes to the edge of alpine vistas. Thanks to its year-round heating, you can visit in the crisp winters or mild summers and still refresh with hot drinks or a cool rinse outside.

Van-It-Up’s approach suits families wanting flexibility without the hassle of traditional camping gear. It’s a unique way to visit this under-the-radar region of Switzerland, where cultural heritage and outdoor activity meet. Being locally based in Fribourg means the company understands the region’s landscapes and access routes intimately, providing valuable guidance to make your journey smooth.

This isn’t just a rental—it’s a ticket to discover the less-traveled routes of western Switzerland, delivering comfort on wheels and endless possibilities off-road. Van-It-Up’s Ford Nugget invites families to reshape the classic road trip with independence and ease, making every stop—from village squares to remote forest clearings—an opportunity to unwind and connect with the outdoors on your terms.
