One of the interesting things to see when you're hiking up in the Swiss Alps, is cheese being made at an alp. Throughout the summer months, Swiss cows are kept in the alp meadows - high above the village below - and they feed upon the rich alpine grasses. Most every alp has a cheese maker to turn the rich milk into delicious alp cheese.
When planning a trek through the mountains, find out if there is a Kaeserei (place where they make cheese) anywhere along your route. It's interesting to watch, but even more so it's delicious to taste.
