Alpine Cheese Dairy Morteratsch: A Taste of Tradition in the Swiss Alps

Located in the heart of the Engadin Valley near Pontresina, Alpine Cheese Dairy Morteratsch offers an authentic glimpse into traditional Swiss cheesemaking. Situated over 2,000 meters above sea level, the dairy produces artisanal Alpine cheeses using methods passed down through generations. The high-altitude environment, pristine alpine pastures, and fresh mountain air contribute to the unique, rich flavors of their cheeses.

Visitors can watch cheesemakers work over an open fire, crafting varieties like Alpkäse and Sennkäse, which are made from raw cow’s milk, giving them a robust, earthy taste. The dairy also offers guided tours, allowing guests to learn about the cheesemaking process and enjoy tastings in their café.

With a focus on sustainability and preserving tradition, Alpine Cheese Dairy Morteratsch continues to produce high-quality cheeses that reflect the heritage and beauty of the Swiss Alps.
