At Pâquier-Mottier, share in the daily life of a cheese-maker, with hikes, evening meals, nights in the straw and alpine breakfasts.
Let the paths guide you to Pâquier-Mottier, an alpine farm nestled in a peaceful setting in the Pays-d'Enhaut. Here, time slows down. Tastes are shared. The moment becomes essential.
After an invigorating walk, it's time to enjoy a typical mountain meal: creamy fondue, melt-in-your-mouth raclette, chalet macaroni or a generous crêpe party. Simple, sincere dishes to be savoured in a warm atmosphere.
When night comes, we settle down in the hay, sheltered under the rafters of an old farmhouse. Comfort is minimal, but the experience is maximum. For something a little gentler, you can also sleep in a rustic bed, with its authentic charm. A simple return to basics.
Early in the morning, farm produce is served at the table: fresh bread, fresh milk, homemade jam... A gourmet and local wake-up call, before heading home.
If you have booked this package directly on our website, we will take the liberty of contacting you to confirm or not the chosen date. The exact date of the activity cannot be fixed in advance due to the production conditions on the mountain pastures and the availability of producers. We will therefore offer you several possible dates and you can then choose one of them.
Reservations must be made at least 5 days before the date of the activity. The activity takes place from 1 person and for a maximum of 8 people. Each participant must have his/her own personal sleeping bag and hiking clothes adapted to the mountain. This activity takes place in all weathers.
If cancelled or modified up to 2 days before date of arrival, no fee will be charged. If cancelled or modified later or in case of no-show, the total price of the reservation will be charged. For any questions about the activity, please contact the organizer by email or by phone during office hours.
