Fête du Vacherin Mont-D´Or – Les Charbonnières, Switzerland

There are some cheeses that deserve their own festival  and Vacherin Mont-d´Or is definitely one of them! 

Every year on the first Saturday after fast-Monday in September you can witness the cattle procession coming back to the valley and also be among the first to try the very first cheese of the season.

It´s the biggest event of the valley and each year attracts several thousand visitors –
so if in the area make sure to be one of them!
