Moléson
Moléson-sur-Gruyères lies at the foot of the Moléson, the emblematic summit of the Gruyère, with a family ski area in winter and hiking, a show dairy and panoramic views in summer. It attracts day visitors and families staying a few nights. A private transfer avoids several changes on public transport and brings you right up to the village.

Chauffeur's tipPair your transfer with a visit to the medieval town of Gruyères just below; your chauffeur can wait or return at a set time if you book by the hour.
The route from Geneva Airport
Your chauffeur leaves the airport on the A1 towards Lausanne, then joins the A12 towards Bern, crossing the Veveyse and the plateau of the Gruyère. Leaving the motorway at Bulle, the road heads towards Gruyères and climbs the short valley up to Moléson-sur-Gruyères. The views over the Gruyère lake and the Pre-Alps open up on the last kilometres.
The journey stays in Switzerland and takes around 1 h 50 door to door, depending on traffic around Lausanne. The final climb is short and well cleared in winter, so access is reliable for most of the season.
Arriving in Moléson
The village is small and car-accessible, and your driver drops you at your hotel, chalet or at the base of the lifts. The funicular and cable car to the summit leave from the village, as does the show dairy where traditional Gruyère cheese making is demonstrated. The castle town of Gruyères is a few minutes away by car.
