Dominating the landscape is the deep blue Lac de la Gruyère – just as much as the 2,000-m Moléson, which offers sensational views of the region.

The car-free little town of Gruyères with its 800-year-old castle is home not only to the treasures of the former counts of Gruyères, but also to a museum devoted to the Hollywood creator of “Alien”, H.R. Giger – an extraordinary contrast. A stay also promises a host of gastronomic highlights – including world-famous Gruyère cheese, traditional cheese fondue and legendary local meringues with double cream. A short distance to the east, meanwhile, lies the charming landscape around the little town of Broc, and the Cailler-Nestlé chocolate factory.
