The peak of Moléson rises proud and mighty to the sky, as if it were standing guard over the entire valley. The theme hike begins at the foot of the giant, in the center of the village named after the mountain. This hike takes a close look at the mysteries of cheese making. There are two hiking alternatives to choose from. One hike takes you through les Reybes (described here), the other through la Provêta. The tour begins at information panel 10 (Tafel 10), which belongs to the the cheese-dairy Fromagerie d'alpage de Moléson-Village. The route leads past panels 11 through 20, down to Pringy, and ends at the Maison du Gruyère (Tafel 1 / panel 1). Authentic alpine huts and magnificent forests are passed en route.

Other attraction: Moléson: take the stationary cableway to the summit of Moléson (2'022 m above sea level) - at 1'132 m above sea level there is an alpine cheese dairy dating back to the 17th century, where cheese is still made in the traditional way on a wood fire. A star observatory with a restaurant and a place to stay overnight offers thrilling views. A bobsled run, -Grastrottinet- and -Dévalkart- bring adventurous variety to your vacation.
