Highlights

Depart Montreux

You are welcomed on board the Pullman carriage by your tour guide and served with coffee and pain-au-chocolat. The train departs at 9.50 - sit back, relax and enjoy the stunning scenery en route to Montbovon. Here, you change to the comfortable chocolate excursion bus which takes you through the scenic countryside to charming Gruyères.

La Maison du Gruyère dairy

A visit to the cheese factory is included in your trip so you can watch the cheese making demonstration and even sample some of their delicious product! After you have completed the tour you can purchase cheese in the gift shop or have a drink in the café.

Gruyères village

From the cheese factory the bus will transfer you to the picturesque village where you will have plenty of free time to explore the shops and visit the medieval castle (entry included with a Swiss Travel Pass, otherwise 12 Sfr). There are some charming restaurants for lunch.

Chocolate factory

The bus will collect you from the village and take you to the Nestlé-Cailler factory in Broc. Enjoy the fascinating tour of the factory and discover the secrets of chocolate making. At the end of the tour is the highlight - you will be invited to a chocolate tasting! There's also just enough time to visit the gift shop and the café which of course serves chocolatey delights.
