The milk from dairy cows raised on the lush pastures of the Jogne valley is packed full of natural nutrients. So too are the products which are lovingly crafted from it.
The Charmey milk and cheese dairy uses this milk in its two flagship products, the incomparable Gruyère and Vacherin Fribourgeois AOP (protected designation of origin). The craftsman behind these cheeses is Sébastien Piller, who took over the dairy in early 2020.
All production has been transferred from the original facility in the heart of Charmey village to the La Tzintre cheese dairy. The old Charmey milk and cheese dairy has been renovated and is now home to the Pillers’ shop, which is run by Stéphanie, Sébastien’s wife.
Customers can also order cheese platters (with or without cold cuts) from Sébastien and Stéphanie, and hire fondue sets and raclette machines for their special events. The couple hope to launch their online shop in the near future.

At Chaudanne Spring, water seems to emerge from the depths of the Earth. Water seeps into the ground on the east slope of the Vanils Range and joins an interminable underground network of subterranean galleries, only to reach the surface after travelling several kilometers underground. Located several meters below the main road (Bulle – Château-d’Œx), the spring is circular in form with a diameter of about 2 meters. It spills into a flooded funnel, which marks the entrance to a subterranean water network.
The Chaudanne is a vauclusienne spring, which means that its water climbs vertically through pressurized subterranean channels before reaching the surface. Rising from a depth of several hundred meters, this site constitutes one of the deepest submerged galleries in the Prealps. The site is made even more special by the fact that it has been explored by speleologist-scuba divers. In 1988, scuba diver Cyrille Brandt reached the depth of -143 m, which was the deepest speleological
