What a cheese
Your stay here, however, also promises culinary highlights. One, of
which is Gruyère cheese, which has been produced here for generations
from the raw milk of cows that still know what freedom is. Would you
like to know more about this specialty, which carries the region's name
around the whole world? 'La Maison du Gruyère (The House of Gruyère)'
with its show dairy and many cheese histories is in nearby Pringy.
Thanks to ingredients such as the Greyerzer and the Vacherin, Fribourg
country is also the birthplace of the cheese fondue. Another thing you
may not let escape your notice - the meringues with double cream. They
are absolutely legendary. Numerous restaurants invite you to linger on
old cobblestones and offer other culinary surprises. La Gruyère, the
wide countryside around the car-free little town with the 8th century
old castle is a dream for hikers, bikers and discoverers.

Tip
Back to the future. Did you know, by the way, that the region inspired artists such as HR.Giger, the Alien creator? Apart from his museum in the little town of Gruyères he set up a bar with fantastic architecture - a sort of mini cathedral in Neo-Gothic style. Why not spend a moment in the company of biomechanical creatures?
