Gaec les alpagistes

Young farmers from Megève, we produce farmer's Reblochon from November to March and farmer's abundance from April to October. Direct sale at the farm.
Our farm is located in Megève on the Rochebrune massif at 1683 route de lady les granges, it is a husband/wife GAEC
In 2008, 35-year-old Guillaume settled down with 20 dairy cows. Guillaume's passion is the alpine pasture and the bells. After several years of hardship, we managed to find an alpine pasture that suited our herd. Since 2014 we have been climbing on the mountain pasture of Chevan, communal mountain pasture, belonging to the municipality of Megève. To date, we have 40 dairy cows of the Tarine et Abondance breed in winter, and 80 dairy cows on the pasture in summer.

The assembly takes place at the beginning of June, the cows are adorned with their most beautiful bells and the climb is done on foot (3 hours walk). In the mountain pastures, milking is done in a mobile milking parlour, then the milk is brought back to the chalet to be transformed into farmer's Abondance. Cheese processing began in 2017, with the involvement of Aline, Guillaume's wife. We are committed to being able to transform our milk to have a successful product made by our hands.
Life in the mountain pastures is essential for us! The whole family and our employee, everyone sleeps up there. We live to the rhythm of our cows. We couldn't do without going to the mountains in summer… the tranquillity, the cows grazing fresh grass every day, the sunrise over our mountains… a corner of paradise for us. The "dismantling" takes place at the beginning of October: all our fences are undone, the chalet is tidied up and cleaned to make room for snow and skiers.

Since 2017 we have also been making farmhouse Reblochon in the winter.

We have created a small farm direct sales store at 1683 route de lady
We hope that our Abondance and farmer's reblochon will satisfy your taste buds because we put all our heart into making a quality product.
We speak French
