its beginnings, it has been difficult to access Gruyeres due to the sole route and
its steep

you arrive in Gruyeres you have to leave your car in a parking along the steep
road. Indeed no vehicles,
except the "Petit Train", are allowed inside the old pedestrian city

The "Petit
Train" saves you a steep and tiring walk (up to 0,9 mile) while allowing you
to discover and enjoy the scenic landscape of the valley. You will then arrive

Splendid! The village is only one street about 150 meters long, but this cool
train will save you the effort of walking back and forth along it AND take you
down to, and back up again from, the cheese factory/museum in Pringy at the
bottom of the hill. "
