The Maison du Gruyère is a cheese factory where you can discover all the secrets of making Gruyère AOP cheese and more. The magic of the transformation of milk into cheese happens from 9 to 11am and from 12:30 to 2:30pm. As visitors look on, the master cheese-maker produces 48 Gruyère AOP wheels which are then aged in a cellar that can contain up to 7,000 wheels. The exhibit Voyage au cœur des sens (Journey of the senses) answers all your questions in a ludic and interesting fashion. The cows' ascent to the mountain pastures, with bells clanging, starts your look (and opens your ears) into the life of a drop of milk. Your olfactory sense will be stimulated by distinctive, perfumed aromas, and your sense of touch awakened, as you run fingers over grasses, cow hide, whitewash… Visual stimulation is omnipresent. You can admire the art of cheese-maker at work, as well as numerous images and videos. Your tastebuds most certainly will not be neglected, as you are invited to sample Gruyère AOP at three different stages of maturity.
This border is still lined by agricultural exploitations. The vaudois and fribourgeois pastures are still clearly outlined by ancient stone walls and fences.
Located in the Prealps, south of Château-d'Œx on the left bank of the Sarine river, La Pierreuse reserve encompasses 34 square kilometers of mid-mountain terrain. It extends from the Gummfluh mountain range to the Pic Chaussy range. La Pierreuse is listed in Federal Inventory of Landscapes and Natural Monuments of National Importance. It is a crown example of typical subalpine terrain: rocky zones; alpine prairies with rich flora; marshes; fir, pine and spruce trees; and deciduous forests.
La Pierreuse Reserve, created in 1945, is now managed by Pro Natura with a commission uniting concerned parties for nature conservation in the canton of Vaud.

La Tine Bridge was built in 1785. Its twin arches over the Sarine connect local hamlets to the chemin royal (royal path) that Leurs Excellences de Berne (the excellencies of Bern) had built in 1748. Today, the bridge is located in the main artery of the valley.
La Valsainte is tucked into the Javro Valley, in the municipality of Cerniat.
The Valsainte was founded in 1294, following a donation from Girard 1st of Corbières. Until the 16th century, only the church was of solid stone construction. The conventual buildings and cells were wood. Tragic, deadly fires scar the history of the Valsainte. In 1778, the Charterhouse was closed and the monks moved to La Part-Dieu (Bulle). Authorized by the state of Fribourg to buy back the Valsainte in 1861, the Carthusians entirely reconstructed their monastery. From 1863 to 1903, a series of additions were put on the Valsainte. The last line of cells was erected in order to accommodate Carthusians chased from France. These cells were demolished in 2008 in order to restore the stability of the monastery threatened by erosion.
