Lush meadows and flavoursome cheese - a day on the farm

The rural region around Jaun is dotted with many smaller and larger farms. Many people think of farmers as grumpy alpine farmers or rusty grandfathers who don't know Google or Instagram. But here in Jaun, a new generation of agronomists is growing up and showing a modern and young side to farming. Find out what their everyday life is like and what their tasks are in our farm package.

The alarm clock rings early in the morning, it's time for the young farmer to get ready for the day and milk his herd of cows. He takes the freshly milked milk to the nearby cheese dairy, where it is processed directly into fine Le Gruyère AOP. Invigorated after a hearty breakfast, he gets to work outside in the countryside. The job of a farmer is tough, but extremely varied. As your own master, you determine your own daily routine, completely in harmony with nature.

Book our farm package to gain a small insight into working on a farm. You will accompany one of our young farmers at work and have the opportunity to look over his shoulder. You're sure to have a thousand questions and want to know exactly where all the money from agricultural subsidies goes. We offer you an exchange at eye level and hope to contribute to the appreciation of this often ridiculed profession.

Everyone is familiar with Le Gruyère AOP, this flavoursome cheese is known far beyond the country's borders. You may well discover the secret of its flavour during your stay. You will have plenty of opportunities to taste it. For example, when you visit the cheese dairy in Jaun. There it is freshly prepared, stored and then sold in their own shop. Jaco, the village cheesemaker, will show you round his production facility and give you some of his delicacies to take home with you as a tasting sample.

If you still haven't had enough after so much cheese, we will serve you the creamy Moitié-Moitié fondue accompanied by a fine Fribourg white wine in our restaurant. Afterwards, you'll certainly be ready for bed and enjoy a restful night in the matching Schafscheid themed room.

The next morning, you will discover many of the products that were presented to you yesterday at our breakfast buffet. Collaboration with local producers is very important to us. Convinced of top quality, short transport routes and the promotion of local added value, we will continue to focus entirely on local specialities in the future.

Sheep fair

Das perfekte Zimmer für das Package

The most important date in any Jauner's calendar is the traditional "sheep fair". After spending the season on the mountain pasture, the shepherds bring their herds back to the village, and they either give the sheep back to their owners or they sell them. A market is part of this ancestral festival. It brings people together for a day, with the rhythm of traditional music. This tradition is of course showcased in this room, thanks to the many items which are reminders of the sheep fair. The only drawback: facing the mountain, this room does not offer a view.
