Swiss Activity Tip

When you're in Gruyères, make sure to use your free time to visit the medieval castle. This fortified fortress was built in the 13th century. The castle terrace offers an exceptionally beautiful pre-Alpine panorama. In a small printed guide (available in 12 languages), you can also discover many stories and legends about Gruyères.
