Inleiding
Dive into a gourmet atmosphere at the Cheese Festival!
For an even more immersive experience, watch cheese being made over an open fire and discover the secrets of this age-old craft. A number of artisans will be joining the market to showcase the traditions and specialities typical of our region. This festival keeps alive an old custom, when cheesemakers would clear out their cellars before the herds were driven up to the mountain pastures. Lovers of fine produce are guaranteed to enjoy a convivial time, with friends or family.
Round off this gourmet excursion by exploring the region’s fascinating museums, for a day full of discoveries and delights.
Local craft demonstrations – Discover how Gruyère AOP is made, as well as cream spoons and other wooden utensils, or how lace is crafted. Don’t miss the magical moment when the cheeses are brought out at the Chalet de la Confrérie, scheduled for around 11:00 and 15:00!
Musical entertainment – The Chœur de la Confrérie du Gruyère, the folk orchestra ‘Les Trèna-tsôthè’, and the alphorns will provide entertainment throughout the day.
