In the workshop, you will explore the art of traditional cheese making. Guided by an experienced cheesemaker, you will oversee the entire process.
It begins with warming fresh Alpine milk over a wood fire. Cutting, stirring, pressing, and sampling cheeses at different maturation stages are also part of it.
The workshop lasts approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes and offers an authentic, interactive experience with views of the Valais Alps. During breaks, you'll have the opportunity to explore the Maiensäss and the historic chalets.
