First chocolate, now cheese.
Goldenpass of Switzerland has introduced a cheese train as a winter counterpart to its summer chocolate route. The excursion offers travelers the opportunity to experience the culinary traditions of the Pays d'Enhaut region.
The trip begins at Montreux, where passengers receive a sample of organic cheese from Le Chalet restaurant along with regional white wine. After a brief ride through the Alpine landscape, guests head to Le Chalet in Château-d'Oex, known for its in-house dairy .
A traditionally dressed cheesemaker demonstrates the Alpine cheese-making process, from how raw milk is heated in a copper caldron over a wood fire to how curdled cheese is placed in a mold. Travelers can enjoy the specialty hard cheese along with fondue (lunch can be purchased for an additional charge).
A 36-passenger vintage Pullman carriage from the 1930s with wood-paneled ceilings, velour upholstery and soft carpet is reserved for those who purchase tickets for the cheese train.
"The journey through the Lake Geneva region passes vineyards and offers a spectacular view of the countryside with its traditional Swiss chalets," Doriane Kohli, the cheese train project manager at Goldenpass, said in a telephone interview.
The cheese train is a weekend affair: daylong journeys are offered each Friday through Sunday until April 27. Rates start from 49 Swiss francs (about $55) for children to 79 francs (about $90) for adults, and include round-trip transportation between Montreux and Château-d'Oex, as well as admission to the folk art museum in Château-d'Oex, which is known for its scissor-cut silhouettes or découpages.
