In Aillons-Margériaz, farms are more than just places of production: they are worlds apart, populated by endearing animals and passionate people. Head to La Ferme de la Correrie, a hamlet nestling in the heart of the Bauges mountains, for a farm visit full of surprises. Here, children can watch the Montbéliard cows and goats, the stars of the mountain pastures, with wide eyes. They will learn how a traditional milking is carried out and how the life of a Savoyard farmer is organised. In between petting the animals, the discussions with the farmers give rise to vocations or, at the very least, wonderful childhood memories.

A gourmet symbol of the Massif, Tome des Bauges is a real local pride. Made with passion from whole raw milk, it perpetuates a tradition handed down from generation to generation.

A cheese of character and authenticity

Beneath its beautiful grey, bloomy rind lies a creamy paste with a clean flavour and hints of hazelnut. It’s the perfect expression of the generosity and authenticity of the Baujus countryside. Thanks to its PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), it embodies guaranteed quality and a strong character.

Tasting and sharing local flavours

At the Val d’Aillon cheese dairy, discover all the stages in the cheese-making process, then savour this unique cheese, a reflection of the region’s lively and generous character.

And to prolong the pleasure, there’s no shortage of local products: home-made jams, traditional charcuterie, tasty honeys and donkey’s milk soaps. From markets and village shops to collective sales outlets, everyone can leave with a basket full of 100% Baujues delicacies, to share or give as a gift.
