About Gruyeres
Rising above the Pre-Alps on a small hill, the medieval town of Gruyeres is a single cobblestoned street of perfectly preserved buildings leading to a 13th-century castle. Beyond its fairy-tale appearance, this is the birthplace of the famous cheese, and the unexpected home of the H.R. Giger Museum — making it a delightful collision of the quaint and the surreal.
