Gruyère is a very mountainous region, criss-crossed by deep and narrow valleys sheltering traditional wood-built hamlets. To enter the region, one has to pass thorough the only existing portico, over which the fine town of Bulle stands guard as over the entrance to a castle.
Once inside, one discovers a harmonious mixture of slender summits, verdant high pastures, streams and forests. Hospitality and good food here reign supreme.
