Cheesemaking tours
Step inside Morzine’s traditional cheese dairy for a taste of local life
Join a free guided visit to the local Fruitière to see how local Savoyard cheeses are made. It’s a great way to learn about alpine traditions and pick up a tasty souvenir.
Every Wednesday morning, you can take a free guided tour of Morzine’s fruitière, the village cheese dairy and watch how traditional local cheeses are made. The tour lasts around 30 minutes and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the production process, with a chance to ask questions along the way. In season, you can also visit freely without a guide.
The dairy was revived in 1996 by Nicolas Baud and his team, who still make cheese here every day. You’ll see how they produce local favourites like Tomme, Abondance and Reblochon, which are all made with milk from the surrounding valley. Because Morzine lies within a protected AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protégée) zone, much of the cheese carries this quality label.
There is a shop next door, where you can taste and buy cheese to take home.
