Les Frères Brigands | In the Footsteps of the Alpine Herdsmen

Highlight • Trail

Follow in the footsteps of the dairy farmers with a digital scavenger hunt: In Broc, on the southern shore of Lake Gruyère, an interactive puzzle adventure will transport you to the Alpine world and its traditions! On the approximately five-kilometer (five-hour) loop, you'll find yourself in the heart of the Alpine season in 1890.

Equipped with a puzzle kit and the mobile app, you'll solve exciting challenges and discover the golden rules of traditional Alpine cheese production. Amidst nature and cultural heritage, checkpoints along the way will reveal how the dairy farmers lived and worked in the La Gruyère region.

This experience, full of fun, teamwork, and discovery, is ideal for families, friends, school classes, or groups who want to experience the La Gruyère region in a unique way. The puzzle kit is available online, at the tourist office in Bulle, or at the tourist office in Gruyères.

] Please note that this is a printed paper kit, which is subject to a delivery time when ordered online. For immediate use, we recommend purchasing it directly from the tourist offices in Bulle or Gruyères.
