The Savoie cheese route
A GOURMET TRIP
What the dairy farmers, cooperatives, cheese producers, cheesemongers and mountain herders all have in common is their passion and drive to share the ins and outs of their work, their products and their lives with visitors.
You can book a guided tour or look around freely, enjoy a meal on the farm or just a snack, visit local exhibitions and museums, try your hand at cheese making or milking, as well as book a guided hike around the various mountain sites.
You’ll be sure to come away with a memorable experience!
