The most beautiful places to enjoy a fondue or raclette

Fondue or raclette in 8 XXL fondue pots: Pick up your fondue or raclette backpack from a local dairy and combine the experience with a hike or a toboggan ride.

Fondue in the great outdoors: Pick up your fondue backpack from the Amstutz cheese dairy in Sigriswil and find your favourite spot in nature, with views of Lake Thun or surrounded by a winter landscape. The backpack contains everything you need: fondue pot, burner with wind guard, lighter, stirring spoon, forks, bread and cheese. Fondue tastes even better outdoors. Available all year round.

Raclette in a raft on Lake Brienz: In Bönigen, climb aboard a raft and enjoy the evening atmosphere with views of the surrounding mountains. While your guide paddles along the shore, savour raclette in a cosy setting. Available from mid-September to April, depending on weather and water levels.
