SWITZERLAND
Making Swiss Cheese in the Emmental Valley

Let's take a little wander today to the Emmental Valley in the Swiss Alps, the home of Swiss Cheese. In a hilly landscape just east of Bern, you will find the Emmentaler Schaukäserei (cheese dairy). Here you can have the chance to not only witness authentic cheesemaking and enjoy fresh cheese fondue, but you can also make your very own cheese! On top of that, the farm has a super retro audio-visual tour showing guests the amazing history of Emmental Cheese and even a fun cheese themed playground for the little ones. And here, you will finally hear the answer to that mysterious question, "Why does Swiss Cheese have holes?"

The Hotel Schweizerhof, which was known as “Hotel Fetzer” or “Zähringerhof” in the 19th century, received its current name by Daniel Vogel in 1859. This property is a luxurious symbiosis of the traditional and the modern, with contemporary design, a first-class conference centre and superb hospitality. Today the Hotel Schweizerhof is part of the portfolio of Buergenstock Selection. With an over 160-year legacy, a glamorous new period has now begun at Berne’s famous luxury hotel.
