We cheese-makers from Turtmann love to be peeked into the pot. Especially since we are also actively involved every day in carefully processing the fresh mountain milk into the unmistakable raclette cheese. Visitors can find out how this is done and what it takes on the second floor of the modern show dairy, where 320 tons of Raclette du Valais AOP Valais 65 are produced every year. The offer inspires families and at the same time gives an ideal meeting space for teams, groups or associations. The showroom (about 100 m2) can also be rented and is ideal for conferences, conventions, meetings and private gatherings up to about 50 people.

The Chapel Bridge (German: Kapellbrücke) is a wooden footbridge spanning across the Reuss River in the city of Lucerne, Switzerland. It is considered one of the oldest wooden bridges in Europe, and one of the city's most famous landmarks. The bridge was built in 1333 and was originally used as a means of transportation, but today it serves primarily as a tourist attraction. It has a length of 204 meters and is covered by a roof that protects visitors from the elements. Along the bridge, there are also triangular paintings that depict scenes from Lucerne's history. The bridge was damaged in a fire in 1993, but has since been rebuilt to its original appearance.

Who would have bet that this small brewery built at the Auberge du Saumon on the banks of the Sarine in 1788 would have known such a destiny?
