Gruyères Castle Medieval Festival & Cailler Chocolate Factory Day Trip! 🇨🇭🏰🍫

#summervacay Sounds like you had an amazing weekend getaway, right on time for the Medieval Festival at Gruyères Castle on June 21st and 22nd, 2025! This is definitely a highlight to look forward to, as it happens every June. Medieval Festival at Gruyères Castle: Your Experience Tickets: Entry costs 17 CHF for adults and 6 CHF for children aged 6 and above. Once you're in, you get a wristband for unlimited re-entry – great value! Atmosphere: You noted that the staff, dressed in full medieval regalia, looked quite warm, but the overall experience was fantastic, making you feel like you'd truly traveled back in time. Activities: There's plenty to do! You can ride donkeys, pet rabbits, try on medieval clothing for photos, and even experiment with medieval weaponry (activities as shown in Figure 2). Castle Vibe: The inside of Gruyères Castle has a similar feel to Chillon Castle, with the air quality being a bit stuffy. The Town: The small town of Gruyères itself is beautiful and very leisurely – perfect for a relaxed stroll. Must-Do: Cheese Fondue in Gruyères! If you're a fan of cheese fondue, you absolutely must try it here! Gruyères is world-famous for its cheese, so it's the perfect place to indulge. Combining with Cailler Chocolate Factory While your post focuses on the Medieval Festival, remember that the Cailler Chocolate Factory is conveniently located nearby in Broc (just a short bus or taxi ride from Gruyères). It's a fantastic addition to make this a full day of Swiss delights, perfectly combining medieval history with delicious chocolate! Enjoy reliving those medieval moments and delicious cheese memories!
