Description
Step inside a working Valais dairy and discover one of the region’s oldest traditions alongside the person who practises it every day.
This hands-on experience offers rare access to the world of artisan cheese-making, where you’ll work directly with local producer Marc and learn how traditional Tomme is crafted from fresh milk to finished wheel. Rather than a demonstration created for visitors, you’ll be welcomed into a genuine laiterie, gaining insight into the real processes, skills and commitment behind this much-loved alpine cheese.
Guided through each stage of production, you’ll discover how milk is transformed into curds, how the cheese is moulded and pressed, and what happens during the ageing process. Along the way, Marc will share stories of mountain farming life, local food traditions and the vital role cheese-making continues to play in Valais today.
This is an opportunity to meet the maker, ask questions, get your hands involved, and gain a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship behind every wheel of cheese.
Perfect for food lovers, curious minds, families and anyone seeking a genuine connection with local culture, this experience offers an authentic insight into the traditions that have shaped life in the Alps for generations.
Every detail is arranged around you. Get in touch to discuss your ideal experience and we’ll organise a personalised visit tailored to your interests, group size and schedule.
