In just 1.5 hours from Geneva, descend into the shadowy universe of HR Giger in Gruyère. Creator of the Alien creature, Giger’s art is a chilling blend of nightmares and beauty. Explore the museum and witness his evolution from the 1970s to the 2000s, where every painting, sculpture, and design whispers of otherworldly visions. The rooms pulse with surreal forms that blur the line between flesh and machine, leaving you in awe and unease. After wandering his dark galleries, step into the HR Giger Bar—an eerie cathedral of biomechanical architecture. Sip a sinister drink beneath vaulted ribs and alien forms, as if inside the creature’s lair. This unforgettable day trip invites you to confront the macabre genius of an artist whose creations still haunt cinema, art, and dreams.

Gabor was an amazing tour guide, keeping us entertained to and from Gruyeres. He took us around Gruyeres and show us spots you wouldn't know without him. Museum was brilliant and stopped in the bar for a drink. Castle was great to walk around and the views were out of this world. Stopped at St George's for lunch, view and food both stunning. Chocolate factory tour was so interactive and samples were very tasty.

Really enjoyed this tour. Easy pick up at our hotel. Nice comfortable scenic ride. Giger museum & bar is fantastic! Our driver, Gabor, was awesome. The castle and chocolate factory were nice, but the Giger museum was what I went for. Good amount of time spent at each spot.
