Chästeilet is heaven for Swiss cheese lovers (Hasliberg)

For years and years, the "Chästeilet" has been marking the end of the summer.

Summer is the typical season for cheese making in the Swiss Alps. During this old mountain tradition, the farmers divide the cheese of that summer among each other in the most fairest way. Mägisalp (Hasliberg) in the Bernese Oberland is the happening place, and crowds of spectators flock there to celebrate.

If you cannot imagine your daily life without a delicious slice of Swiss cheese, do not miss the chance to purchase one of the beautiful yellow discs straight out of farmers' hands right there on the spot.

Besides all the masses of cheese, there is a lot of fun with traditional music, food, refreshments, and flower-adorned cows measuring their way down to the valley after a few summer months spent high up in the mountains.

Events start at 11 AM, and there will be an alpine descent at 2 PM.
