The river gave its name to the surrounding Glâne district of the canton.

The Glâne has its source in the town of Siviriez, then heads northeast becoming the border between the municipalities of Mézières, Romont, Villaz-Saint-Pierre, Villorsonnens and La Folliaz.

It then continues east and northeast through the Sarine district where it borders the municipalities of Chénens, Autigny, Farvagny, Cottens, Neyruz and Matran, finally joining the Sarine River on the border between Villars-sur-Glâne and Hauterive.

In addition, during the nineteenth century public baths were built north of Romont.
