One of the hikes we're planning for our trip to Switzerland next year is a visit to a "cheesery" _ a mountain hut where they make that wonderful Swiss cheese. (And you have to admit _ "cheesery" is cool-sounding word.)

| We start in the valley on a foggy morning ... |
By popular demand, here are some photos from last year's Cheesery Hike. We started in the village of Kandersteg and worked our way up to the hut, where we had a nice lunch at the picnic table and took a tour of the cheese-making operation.
It's basically a woman and her son. They make cheese all day (from cow milk and goat milk) and send it down to the village.
 |
| ... and work our way up the mountain. |
I bought some goat cheese, and it was by far the best I've ever tasted on my many trips to the Alps. That's the thing about a trip to Switzerland _ the cheese is so good that you'll never want to eat processed American cheese again.
 |
| We arrive at the "cheesery." Note the menu written in chalk. |
 |
| There be goats about! |
 |
| The cheese-maker shows us how it's done. |
 |
| Lots and lots of cheese for sale. The goat cheese was superb. |
 |
| The fog has lifted, and we can see down into the valley. They have curvy roads in the mountains. |
See you on the trails.
