Museums for children in Broc

Want a day of swimming outdoors with the kids? The Broc pool, nestled in the heart of Gruyère just steps away from the Maison Cailler, welcomes you with its outdoor pool, children's pool, and slide. A classic of the Fribourg summer, simple and refreshing.

What if the swim had to be earned at the end of a path? At Botterens, right at the southern end of Lake Gruyère, the shore is reached on foot from the lakeside trail, level with Villarbeney. A natural, free and discreet spot for a family swim far from the big beaches.

Looking for the beach on Lake Gruyère that has everything? It is La Pointe, in Morlon, which everyone calls Morlon Beach: toilets, outdoor showers, fire pits, beach volleyball and paddle rental, with the Île d'Ogoz and the Prealps as scenery. Free access.

What if you traveled back in time with your family? Perched in the heart of the famous medieval city, the Château de Gruyères opens up eight centuries of history for you. With its free fun trails designed for children, it's an outing that combines a fortress, legends, and panoramic views of the Pre-Alps.

How is the famous Gruyère AOP made? In Pringy, across from the train station, the demonstration cheese dairy opens its vats to you. In the morning, your children watch the cheesemakers at work, with a fun audio guide in their ears. A delicious and lively visit, just a stone's throw from the Château de Gruyères.

What if your children climbed from tree to tree above the valley? At the intermediate station of the Charmey cable car, the treetop adventure park features monkey bridges and zip lines among the fir trees. A course designed for all ages, accessible from 3 years old for their first steps in the heights.

Looking for a family cinema outing in the Gruyère? Le Prado, in Bulle, is the region’s main cinema with its three modern screens. Films on release, booster seats for children and easy access: a simple outing, in any weather.

Fancy a warm break, even when it is raining over the Pre-Alps? At Les Bains de la Gruyère in Charmey, the whole family slips into heated indoor and outdoor pools, with the mountains in view. A gentle outing, open to toddlers and big kids alike.
