Private Day Trip to Gruyère

Private Day Trip to Gruyères : Medieval Castle, AOP Cheese & Cailler Chocolate | Mercedes Van from Montreux

Departing from Montreux, immerse yourself in the heart of Gruyères aboard a private Mercedes V-Class van. Medieval castle, live AOP cheese-making and a Cailler chocolate tasting, all entrance tickets included, your driver-guide handles the rest. Enjoy a comfortable, discreet, and perfectly managed journey to begin or end your trip under the best possible conditions.

Whether you set off from Lausanne, Montreux, Bulle, Fribourg or Bern, your driver-guide picks you up directly at your address. On board the 2025 Mercedes V-Class, spacious, air-conditioned and exclusively yours, the drive through the Fribourg Pre-Alps is already part of the experience.

First stop: the Maison du Gruyère in Pringy. Watch the famous AOP cheese being crafted from start to finish, following a tradition passed down since the 15th century. From copper vats to ageing cellars, every stage reveals the precision and passion behind one of the world’s most celebrated cheeses.

Next, the medieval village of Gruyères itself, perched on a rocky promontory and ranked among the most beautiful tourist villages in Switzerland. Cobblestone streets, well-preserved ramparts and sweeping views over the Moléson and the Pre-Alps create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else. Your ticket to Gruyères Castle is included: explore its history-laden halls at your leisure, from the tales of the Counts of Gruyères to its fascinating collections.

The day closes at Broc with a visit to Maison Cailler, one of Switzerland’s oldest chocolate factories. A fully immersive journey through the history of Swiss chocolate, ending with a generous tasting, the perfect finale to a day rich in flavour.

Your driver-guide meets you after each visit and brings you back directly to your departure point in French-speaking Switzerland.
