Guided trip
What do you get when you combine all the good things of Switzerland? One small, cute, medieval town, a chocolate factory, a cheese factory, and a mountain summit. And if the weather cooperates, we have an opportunity to see Mt. Blanc. Intrigued? Read on! My name is Jai, and it's an honor and privilege to be on this platform. I am now living my dream living overseas-short spurt in the Czech Republic and England, a year in Serbia, and now in Tbilisi, Georgia. I will be making trips around the world, stay tuned for themed trips, such as movies, music, food, and yoga retreats. We will meet in a chateau in the town of Gruyeres. We will spend the first day getting to know each other and exploring the town that is lined with cobblestone streets. We will be sure to find a restaurant filled with delicious food. The following days will be spent hiking, going to the Gruyere cheese factory, and chocolate factory, hiking, and visiting the museum of HR Giger, the Swiss painter most known for his artwork in all of the Aliens movies. So if you are a fan of cheese, chocolate, mountains, AND horror, this is a trip you cannot afford to miss! What is included in the price? - Accommodation: Hotel chateau with shared rooms - All museum entrances - Breakfast - Health insurance for German and Austrian nationals Not included -Food and drink unless otherwise specified Do you have any questions?

La Maison du Gruyère

Day 6
Every day, around 48 rounds of Gruyere cheese are made in the cheese dairy from the cows of twenty-two farmers. Each of the cows has been allowed to graze on fresh grass in the Swiss mountains. Each round of cheese is only made to meet specific conditions by Swiss law. Here we will see how it is made and hopefully be able to have a tasting. There is a restaurant onsite we can go to if we want.
