Prologue: Villars-sur-Glâne

The municipality of Villars-sur-Glâne has nearly 50 associations, many of which are active in sports. Facing south and overlooking the Pre-Alps, it is nestled in nature and boasts many green spaces in the heart of forests and along rivers.

With just over 12,500 inhabitants, it is characterized by the diversity of its activities. Benefiting from its strategic position on the Fribourg–Bulle axis, it is home to cutting-edge companies that ensure strong economic vitality. The business park is adjacent to residential neighborhoods offering a great deal of tranquility. The municipality has all the necessary infrastructure for its population, who can lead an attractive life there, thanks in part to the presence of the Théâtre Nuithonie. A library, modern school complex, sports facilities, small shops, and shopping centers are available to residents.

The organization of the Tour de Romandie prologue fits perfectly with the dynamism of the municipality.
