In the military forts of La Tine, the cheese has replaced the ammunition and shells on the concrete shelves. This is where many wheels of cheese are matured to obtain a cheese with a unique character!
The forts are located on the border between the cantons of Vaud and Fribourg. This is where the Pays-d'Enhaut valley closes in, leaving only a road and the Sarine river to pass through. Below, you can see the gorges where the river flows before reaching Montbovon.
Tucked away in the mountain, a door opens to let you into the concrete labyrinth. Take a guided tour of these former WW2 underground tunnels.
Explore the fort's various rooms and discover the cheese wheels that are matured right in the heart of the mountain! A perfect place for this crucial step, thanks to stable conditions despite the cool or hot temperatures outside.
