Alps Farm Guided Tour & Cheese Tasting Experience
Excellent experience. Claudia

Excellent experience. We went three times. Whether it was the guided tour, the goat milking, or the snack, everything was delicious and very well organized. Don't hesitate to try their ice cream, pancakes, or even waffles. The animals are loved, and you can feel the passion for the farm. Thank you for everything.

We had a great day. Helene Haan

We had a great day. In the morning, we had a guided tour of the farm, lunch at the restaurant at noon, and then we watched the goats being milked.

Alps Farm Guided Tour & Cheese Tasting Experience
Ideal for younger children. Darkantrax

An alpine farm where you can get up close and personal with the farm animals, with the added bonus of operator explanations, ideal for younger children. There's a terrace where you can enjoy a drink, a shop offering local produce, and a restaurant, all amidst a splendid setting.
