The pitch

Discover life in the alpine pastures and how the Aravis' best cheeses are made!

Details

Our farm is located in the heart of the Aravis Mountains, in Haute-Savoie. With our cows, we produce milk year-round, which we process directly on the farm after each milking. Since we’re located in the Reblochon Fermier AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) region, we make this iconic local cheese every day. We also produce a wide variety of other cheeses, ranging from the freshest to the most aged. Come discover, for example, the legendary Tomme de Beauregard—a cheese whose secret recipe is known only to us!
We are committed to promoting sustainable agriculture deeply rooted in our region, combining tradition with modernity. Come visit us on the farm; we’d be delighted to share our craft and expertise with you :)

In the summer (June through September), come explore our alpine pasture, located in a protected area, where we make the most of natural resources while helping to preserve the environment. You can enjoy the mountains, the farm animals, milking time (every day at 3:30 p.m.), and our farm stand. Guided tours lasting about 1 hour (at 2:30 p.m., by reservation) will introduce you to our cheeses, our daily life, and our traditions, as well as the many animals on our farm. The tour includes a cheese tasting.
UPDATE August 15, 2026: The cows have returned to their winter pastures, but tours and the sale of farm products continue as usual.

Accessibility: To reach the alpine chalet, you have several options:

From La Clusaz:
The Beauregard gondola station is located next to the La Clusaz ice rink. After a 7-minute ride up in the gondola, it’s just a 10-minute walk to reach us.

Via the Col de la Croix-Fry:
- For a family hike of about 45 minutes, park at the Col parking lot and walk uphill toward the Beauregard plateau (the road goes uphill near the Veyrat Sport store). Signs will guide you to the chalet.
- NO CAR ACCESS
