Experience traditional alpine farming at La Ferme de Seraussaix in Morzine, with farmhouse cheeses, tours, and a glimpse into daily farm life.
La Ferme de Seraussaix is more than just a farm; it's an immersive experience into the heart of alpine tradition. Located on the scenic road to Avoriaz, about 4 km from the resort, this family-run farm offers visitors a chance to witness the daily life of a working farm. The farm specializes in producing a range of farmhouse cheeses, including Abondance, Tomme, Raclette, and Reblochon, all made from the milk of their own Montbéliarde cows. They also raise pigs to create delicious charcuterie, offering a true taste of the region. Visitors can explore the farm shop, stocked with cheeses, yogurts, and cured meats, all made on-site. In summer, the cows graze on the Seraussaix mountain pasture, while in winter, they are kept warm and fed with fodder grown during the summer. A highlight is the opportunity to watch the cows being milked every day. For a deeper understanding, visitors can view a film explaining the farm's know-how, work, and life. La Ferme de Seraussaix strives to blend development and modernity while maintaining a human scale and respecting time-honored traditions.
