This place offers a lot of unforgettable fun and is definitely something for your bucket list in Switzerland. The new building is more or less cool in summer and of course warm in winter, and if you can't go for your planned activity/trip because it rains this is an amazing option to make the best out of your day or night or your trip here anyway..High level party 7 days a week from 4pm to 0:30 am with sophisticated music..at daytime a little more laid back and in the evenings it depends on the customers what we make out of it.. and also here's one of the cutest puppies in town..what else can one ask for..

Lovely experience - guides were experienced and fun - very engaging and reassuring. They take photos that you pay for but quality was good. They let you try out flying on your own and even will do some stunts but only if you agree. The whole experience was very positive and my teenage daughters loved it - a real highlight and you see a lot of the mountains and waterfalls. A touch expensive but worth it.

Absolutely stunning scenery and fantastic way to check out Mt Pilatus with a family. The cable car was exciting and view up at the top was breathtaking. We were lucky enough to have some snow, although the train was unfortunately closed on the way down :( Still, we could not fault this experience as the day was sunny and wind-free! Directions were easy to follow and reviews helped us to make the decision and find the bus stop. The company we booked with also returned a portion of the tickets, given the train was closed! How amazing is that!

Queen had a recording studio in Montreux so no surprises that there is a statue on Lake Geneva to Freddie Mercury which is also the cover of their last album after he died. Just along the waterfront so get along and watch people leave flowers and love notes to the man himself!!

Wow, what a great exhibit where you step back in time and can really immerse into the time when this castle was in its hay day. Great value for money and worth a visit.

Official ticket for Château de Gruyères. Since the 13th century, the Château de Gruyères has dominated a green hill in the heart of Switzerland. Bathed in a grandiose panorama at the foot of the Alps, the medieval fortress was successively occupied by the counts who erected it, by the bailiffs of Friborg, then by the Geneva families Bovy and Balland before opening its doors to the public in 1938 . Among its treasures, we thus discover: the screeds of the Order of the Golden Fleece and the delicate stained-glass windows from the Middle Ages; the frescoes commissioned by the bailiffs under the Ancien Régime; paintings by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and the troubadour decorations of the Salle des Chevaliers created in Gruyères in the 19th century by a colony of passionate artists. From the ramparts to the formal gardens, from the guard room to the romantic lounges, the Château de Gruyères takes you through eight centuries of art, history and legends.

In a medieval town there is of course a castle. This particular castle is in Gruyère a small town in Canton Fribourg. The outside appearance of this chateau-castle is as you would imagine a fairy tale castle to appear. The view from the castle to the valley and the snow covered mountain is amazing and just beautiful. The people at the reception are very kind and cheerful. I would advise you to carry a small bag or even better none at all the reason for that is you have to carry it on your front or hold it which is uncomfortable. The rooms were a bit disconcerting as it was a mixture of different eras from Middle Ages, baroque to moderne. Also acclaimed artist had there intervention. The rooms didn’t seem to blend well and there was no specific order. There weren’t a lot of historical information about the place only a small text about each room. In conclusion the venue and building are very nice and worth seeing but the inside is different and not very interesting. A great place to go if you are in the area but I wouldn’t travel there especially to see it.
