Overview
The Col de la Croix alpine pastures on the Col de La Croix road, half-way between Villars and Les Diablerets, are not to be missed.
Up there, on the Col de la Croix mountain pasture, you can visit the cheese dairy (mornings only) and watch the cheese being made at around 9.00 am, to discover the traditional skills of the craftsmen.

- Tommes
- Etivaz PDO (made in 2022)
- Double cream
- Raclette cheese
- Plain yoghurt
- Petit La Croix (from the end of July)
