The mountain pasture season
Cheese-making is an integral part of the summer-grazing season, or alpage (May-October). Indeed, it takes a wide skillset to be a mountain dairy farmer. La saison d’alpage a été retenue par la Confédération comme l’une des traditions vivantes devant figurer prochainement dans le patrimoine culturel immatériel de l’UNESCO, aux côtés notamment de la Fête des vignerons ou du Carnaval de Bâle.
