The Cheese Path | A night on the straw at Belles Combes

What if you walked to taste better?

At Belles Combes, Colin Rayroud welcomes you to his mountain chalet perched at 1,500 metres, surrounded by pastures and forests. Depending on the route, plan for a 2 to 4-hour round hike.

Once there, the immersion begins: a wood-fired raclette, heartfelt conversations, and a night on straw, under the star-filled alpine sky.

In the morning, dive into the secrets of L’Etivaz AOP, a robust alpine cheese handmade in copper cauldrons over a wood fire. Colin walks you through each ancestral gesture. Your reward? A hearty farmhouse breakfast with fresh bread, butter, jams, honey and cheese from the chalet.
