Fromagerie d'Alpage

I have visited this cheesy place in Summer and also when it was snowing in September. Both times were memorable for the views and the mountain experience. Try the Moitié-Moitié fondue, Half Half made from 2 cheeses (Gruyère Vacherin), or taste the creamier...Vacherin Fribourgoise Fondue. There is a demonstration of Artisan cheese making: it is authentic, but slow food, as good food production will be! The cheese sold here is made by slow peasants from the freshly milked local cows. I never noticed grumpy staff, but I can imagine the visitors upsetting the inhabitants! The factory demonstration down near the Gruyère station is showing the modern reality.

Wir waren in den letzten Jahren öfter hier und jedes mal das Selbe: total unfreundliches Personal, schmutziger Tisch abwischen: gehört nicht zum Leistungsumfang!Ob man zum Bestellen oder Bezahlen reingehen muss ist Glückssache. Als wir das Chaos über uns ergehen ließen, war der Nachbartisch 3 mal besetzt und alle 3 Gästepaare sind frustriert und unbedient wieder gegangen. (Ok es war Sonntag und viel Betrieb)Aber positiv ist die schöne Terrasse unter vielen Sonnenschirmen, auch drinnen ist es uhrig, "Streichelzoo" für die Kleinen und was nicht ganz unwichtig ist: der Käse, vor allem der vor Ort gemacht, ist sehr gut. Ob das reicht um hierher zu kommen muss jeder selbst entscheiden.

Charming! in an old building dating from the 16th century, where they produce in an extremely traditional way amazing cheese they can easily and honest food very well presented and some cool surprise like the sweet salad. the service was excellent! no delay super friendly and nice.

We hiked the hill from the parking lot (only a few minutes) to the piousry. we were late for the tour but stayed for wonderful fondue and other local tasty. while we were finished on the small terrace, a farmer brought her kite. on the hills to graze. it was a pretty scene and we have made a great video with all action and **** bells.

While we go to the gruyere for fondue, the piousness was an authentic experience in the outdoor alpen restaurant. fondue was light, dried meat well represented and fondue was beautiful and attentive. it helped us to have eaten all the place to ourselves on a weekday! they see they have weeks of brunettes. a great place to lunch when they go next door in the sled!
