From Wikipedia: TGruyère
cheese is an important factor in supporting the tourist trade in
the region. A major tourist attraction is the medieval town of
Gruyères with its castle, containing a regional museum and an
arts museum. There are cultural activities in the castle
(concerts, theater). There is a cheese factory in Pringy which
is open to visitors. Nearby is Mont Moléson, a mountain suitable
for climbing, or for the less athletic there is a cable car to
the summit which was rebuilt in 1998. The resort town Moléson-Village
caters for both summer and winter tourism.
