Gruyeres - Switzerland
Gruyeres is a town in the district of Gruyere in the canton of Fribourg in Switzerland. Its German name is Greyerz. The medieval town is an important tourist location in the upper valley of the Saane river, and gives its name to Gruyere cheese. The medieval town is located at the top of 82 metre-high hill overlooking the Saane valley and the Lake of Gruyere. The area of the municipality comprises a section of the Saane valley and of the Fribourg alps. The central part of the area is the plains of Alluvial (690 m [ 2,260 ft ] above sea level) next to the alps, between Gruyeres and Broc, from which the hill of Gruyeres rises to 828 m [ 2,717 ft] above sea level. From the west, the brook Treme meets the Saane. East of the Saane, the municipality area ends in a small corner, bordered by the ridges of Dent de Broc (1,829 m [ 6,001 ft ] above sea level) in the north and Dent du Chamois (1,830 m [ 6,000 ft ] above sea level) in the south, ending at the valley of Moleson. The two peaks with their saddle between them are a popular subject for photographs of Gruyeres. Southwest of Gruyeres, the municipality comprises most of the catchment area of the brook Albeuve, which originates on the flanks of mount Moleson. The top of mount Moleson is the highest point of the municipality, reaching 2,002 m (6,568 ft) above sea level. West of the Moleson, the densely wooded right valley side of the Treme and the terrace of La Part Dieu belong to Gruyeres.
