Gruyeres - Getting to Ye Olde Cheesemaker

We would like to go to the more traditional cheesemaking farm which is 5 miles above in Moleson. We won't be hiking and we won't have a car. Rick Steves' book doesn't indicate how to get there, only that is there. Does anyone know or has anyone done it and have any insight? Thanks!

Thanks Martine!

We'll actually be there in May so we figured it will be open. I couldn't find anywhere when it stated there was alternate transportation.

Thanks for the links - I had found them the other day and google translator came in handy for that french one.

Thanks again!
