Broc

The Jogne River shapes the setting of Broc — the village lies in its Gruyère valley shortly before the river joins the Sarine, beneath the Dent de Broc. Broc belongs to the French-speaking canton of Fribourg and is closely associated with Cailler, whose chocolate factory has operated here since 1898. The Maison Cailler visitor centre continues that local chocolate-making connection, while nearby Lake Montsalvens marks the river’s passage through a dammed valley. Beyond the village, the Gruyère region is known for alpine pastures and the production of Gruyère AOP cheese.
