Désalpe de L'Etivaz - 27 September 2025
On 27 September 2025, the village of L'Etivaz will be celebrating the herds that, after a summer on the mountain pastures, will be returning to their stables for the winter. Decked out in their finest bells, proud and full of flowers, the cows will parade past to the applause of the public, much to the delight of the herdsmen.
Discover a living tradition
Take part in the Désalpe de L'Etivaz, a celebration of Swiss mountain traditions, local specialities and joie de vivre! There's plenty of entertainment on offer. In particular, you'll be able to sample the first wheels of L'Etivaz PDO cheese produced during the summer of 2025 and fresh from the maturing cellars.
Entertainment for all
Cheese-making, an introduction to Swiss wrestling, folk music: the rich programme offered by the organisers delighted young and old alike.
