Traditional art
The arts and traditions of La Gruyère embody a rich heritage deeply rooted in the local culture. The poyas, naive paintings depicting the ascent of herds to the alpine pastures, are both works of art and symbols of the bond between people and the mountains.
The finely carved cream spoons, the art of forging, and lace-making highlight craftsmanship passed down through generations. The traditional costumes, such as the bredzon for men (a black woolen jacket) and the dzaquillon for women (a dress adorned with a colorful apron) represent regional identity and local customs.
These artistic, artisanal, and festive traditions offer a unique glimpse into the authenticity and cultural richness of La Gruyère, where history and craftsmanship come together in every detail.
