I live in Boston and just came back from a week in Switzerland and a couple nights (with a car) in Gruyeres. The comments about the train are excellent. We drove (simple and easy) but if you don't want to rent a car, do the train. There are three parking lots to get into Gruyeres. P3, P2, and P1. For walking, P1=5mins away, P2=8mins away, P3=10 mins away. You can walk to the train (near the cheese factory tour) in about 15 mins, we did it. So yeah, train would be great way to get in there. Note that cars are not allowed into Gruyeres during tourist hours (e.g. 10am-6pm) so people walk anyway, and the walking is easy from any of the lots or even the train station. Gruyeres is a GREAT little old town, you'll love it. You can walk end-to-end on its cobblestone streets in about 5 minutes (it's that small) - from the entrance, to the church, to the castle - bang bang bang. We went to visit the castle on one of the days, allow about an hour for that, everything else another hour, but grab lunch at one of restaurants and you're looking at 3 hours min to do most of it. If you want to visit the Tibet Museum there, or the Alien-looking museum allow more time I suppose. Enjoy!
Hello, We only have a short time in Gruyeres, so we will not have time to see the inside of the castle, however, can we just walk the grounds or do we need a ticket for that? Thanks!

Very little at the Castle is accessible without a ticket except for a small lookout terrace, however, there is a path that goes around the perimeter of the castle which offers amazing views. …
Very little at the Castle is accessible without a ticket except for a small lookout terrace, however, there is a path that goes around the perimeter of the castle which offers amazing views. When you approach the castle, the entrance gate is to your right. Go left instead and follow the path, it will take you around the exterior of the castle wall along the cliff. Breathtaking!
Is there a placed to leave your suitcase at the train station while you tour the castle?
