Gruyères Summer School 2019


Time & Place

  • Time: The summer school will take place in the city of Gruyères from Wednesday, August 28 (noon) to Friday, August 30 (noon).
  • Place: Hôtel de Gruyères, Rlle des Chevaliers 1, 1663 Gruyères (Google Maps ). The hotel is at the very beginning of the city (on the right when entering from the main road, behind the parking lot). All rooms have wifi. The hotel has a small gym and a hammam (both open 8am-8pm).

Transportation

The medieval city of Gruyères is car-free. You can come by car (30’ from Fribourg, exit in Bulle, limited & paid parking lots, 2CHF/h, 5h max, 8am-6pm) though train is encouraged!

Here are some sample train connections that will get you in time at the summer school:

  • From Fribourg: RE Fribourg-Bulle [10:04-10:41], then S50 Bulle-Gruyères [10:51-10:59].
  • From Bern: IC1 Bern-Fribourg [9:34-9:55] then same as from Fribourg.
  • From Neuchâtel: S20 Neuchâtel-Fribourg [8:35-9:28] then same as from Fribourg.

From the station (“Gruyères-Gare, Pringy”), I recommend you walk up to the city (15’, very nice but steep!). Alternatively, you can take a bus (to “Gruyères, ville”) or contact me and I’ll come and pick you up with my car.
