Hiking

This varied tour is a little more demanding, but rewards you with a wonderful view of the Freiburg Alps and the town of Gruyères with its castle complex on the hill.

The charming little town has retained its medieval townscape to this day. The castle and the numerous museums attract tourists to the La Gruyère region all year round. Art in the HR Giger Museum or culinary delights in the
The show cheese dairy “La Maison du Gruyère” at the foot of the castle hill tempts you to take an enjoyable break...

Another excursion tip: The cable car to the Moléson has been equipped with a wheelchair-accessible cable car since 1998.

The Wobbly Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Translated it means the shaky bridge, although this name must come from days gone by, because now the bridge is an extremely stable structure. It bridges the La Sarine, a 126 km long river that crosses the canton of Friborg lengthways.
A special feature, in my opinion, is the meager equipment with a small window on each side. This makes the passage quite somber.

Very beautiful old town, located on a hill. Wonderful view of the Freiburg mountains and the surrounding area. Worth a visit!

HR Giger Museum

Highlight • Monument

After a visit to the HR Giger Museum, a visit to the HR Giger bar across the street should of course not be missed. Even those who have not been to the museum before should at least stop by for a look or, better still, for an aperitif.
If you don't know HR Giger yet, you should be surprised.

The museum shows the result of 30 years of passion for the art of the Himalayas by Alain Bordier.
There is an app for the exhibition at the cash desk, also in French, German and English, and it is also possible to book a guided tour in advance.
If you are interested in Buddhist art, you should definitely plan a visit here. The St. Josef Chapel has been newly renovated and the exquisite selection of sculptures, paintings and ritual objects come into their own here.


Opening hours:
From April 5, 2021 to October 31, 2021

Gruyères Castle

Highlight • Castle

Admission currently costs 12 CHF. Be sure to watch the multimedia show about the history of the castle. Always remember that people used to be smaller. So don't forget to duck your head every now and then when admiring the beautifully restored castle.
