Gruyères is famous for its cheese, so make sure to try a fondue or raclette made with local Gruyère cheese. You should also try the town's delicious double cream, which is often served with fresh berries! The town is also best known for its medieval castle, which offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Gruyères also has several museums, including the Gruyère Museum, which showcases the area's cultural heritage, the Tibet Museum and the HR Giger Museum which showcases the work of the Swiss artist best known for his design work on the movie "Alien."
