Day Trip to Gruyères including Golden Panoramic Express Train

Summary

Depart from a centrally located pickup point in Geneva and relax during the scenic journey to Gruyeres by luxury coach. Enjoy a brief interlude in Broc to taste rich chocolate in a traditional factory, and then return to the vehicle for the remainder of the journey to Gruyeres.  Continue to educate your palate with a visit to cheese dairy in Gruyeres and savor the creamy and pungent flavor of locally manufactured cheese. Spend some leisurely free time exploring the picturesque hilltop town independently, opting to visit the grand castle that overlooks the scenic region if you wish. Then head to a typical Swiss chalet and make your own fondue—a Swiss specialty. Next, climb aboard the Panoramic Golden Express train and gaze at sweeping vistas of Lake Leman and the countryside as you amble along a mountain route. Return to your coach for the journey back to Geneva.

About operator:

The current COVID-19 situation affects all of us, in one way or another. It is having a direct impact on us all at Maison Cailler, as the museum has to exceptionally close its doors to the public until further notice. We can only regret this situation, but we are convinced that it is only by acting together that we will be able to overcome the problem. We are already looking forward to seeing you again; we will miss you. Take good care of yourself and see you soon ! Your Maison Cailler team
