Cheese specialties and traditions
Just 100 meters from the Charmey dairy, the L’Alpage cheese specialty restaurant selects its products directly at the source. The menu pays tribute to local traditions and regional flavors: moitié-moitié fondue (Gruyère and Vacherin PDO), Vacherin fondue, generous cheese and white wine crusts, cured meats and raclette. At the table, individual raclette ovens — used to heat an entire block of cheese just like in the old days by the fireplace — bring authenticity back to the plate. A few meringues with Gruyère double cream for dessert and a fine selection of Swiss wines to add color to the glasses: at L’Alpage, there is only one motto — indulgence.
