Hôtel D Bulle - La Gruyère, Pl. de la Gare 9, 1630 Bulle, Switzerland

Nestled in the Fribourg canton, Bulle is a gateway into the culture of La Gruyère. In the centre you’ll find the immersive Bulle Gruyère Museum, offering a glimpse into the art, history and traditions of this region. You can also wander around the old town, admiring the 16th-century architecture before ending up at the medieval Château de Bulle; between May and October, climb the castle tower for magnificent views over the town. For an unmissable taste of the region, a Fribourg fondue - half Gruyère cheese, half Vecherin - is a must. Of course, we can’t forget the chocolate - a short bus or train ride will bring you out to the little town of Broc, home of Maison Cailler. This iconic chocolate factory offers tours, tastings and workshops that are sure to delight you and your tastebuds (book tickets in advance to avoid disappointment).
 
If active pursuits are more your thing, then you’re in luck. The Fribourg Pre-Alps are all around, with the peak of Moléson beckoning in all seasons. From the summit you’ll enjoy stunning views of the mountains, the city and the Lake of Gruyère. In summer, hit the hiking trails around the area or seek thrills on the summer toboggan run. When the snow settles, this area becomes a paradise for skiers and snowboarding enthusiasts.
