Near the city, we will visit a modern cheese factory with an automated cheese storage and observe the process of its production, get acquainted with the exhibits of a small museum of Gruyère cheese.

The smell organ will give you an idea of the scent of milk, depending on what herbs the cows ate.

After the cheese factory, we will climb to a picturesque hill where the town of Gruyère is located.

Looking into this cafe, you will decide for yourself whether you want to visit the Giger Museum itself - the author of the scenery and characters for the film "Alien", who worked under LSD.

Until the middle of the XVI century, counts lived here, then it was used as an administrative building, and from the middle of the XIX century it was bought by a Geneva merchant for his brother, a disabled artist and persuaded his friends of artists to settle in the castle with his brother.

The result of the creative union of these friends-artists is the modern decoration of Gruyère Castle.
