Snow hike around cheese chalet

in outdoor •  7 years ago 

We had a lot of snow over the last two weeks here in Switzerland. So i decided to enjoy a snow hike around the mountains.

The hike goes through mountains and forest in canton Fribourg. The area is named Gruyere and is famous for the cheese sharing the same name.

The hike gives also the opportunity to see a lot of traditional chalet and stables. They are unoccupied during winter time due to the snow. But during the nice season, farmers come up here with their cows and stay for 2 to 3 months.
During this time, they take care and milk the cows but also produce the famous Gruyere cheese. The cheese gets the nice smell of the cows and mountains and is brought back in the valley in early october.

Here are some of these traditional chalet I saw during the hike.
