Description

The tour starts in Lausanne with a visit to Cailler's chocolate world. You'll learn about the history of Switzerland's oldest chocolate brand and indulge in as many treats as you like.

Next, you visit the "Maison du Gruyère." Le Gruyère AOP is a cheese with a long tradition, and its production has been handed down through many generations of cheesemakers in alpine and village dairies.

For lunch, you have free time in Gruyères. At the foot of the Pre-Alps, you'll be enchanted by the charm and picturesque architecture of this medieval town.

At the end of the day, you'll be brought back to the meeting point in Lausanne.

Swiss Activity Tips

When you're in Gruyères, make sure to spend your free time exploring the medieval castle. This fortified fortress was built in the 13th century. From the castle terrace, you'll enjoy an absolutely stunning Pre-Alpine panorama. A small printed guide (available in 12 languages) also shares many stories and legends about Gruyères.
