Enjoy a culinary atmosphere at this cheese market. The traditional cheese festival takes place every spring on the first Sunday of May in the center of the medieval town of Gruyères. With about 20 stalls and authentic musical entertainment throughout the day, visitors will discover good products and enjoy a pleasant day with family and friends.
Once again this year, several cheesemakers from French-speaking Switzerland and beyond the “Röstigraben” will be taking part in the cheese market in the center of the town. There will also be artisans on hand to introduce you to the typical traditions of the region. This festival continues an ancient tradition, where cheesemakers emptied their stocks before the herds ascended to the mountain pastures. Lovers of fine products are assured a convivial moment, whether with friends or family. Alphorn players will provide musical entertainment; check the website for the complete program. You can combine the trip to the Gruyères cheese festival with a visit to Gruyères Castle, the Tibet Museum, or the HR Giger Museum.
