Discover local flavours on a gourmet trail to the Montoz 'métaries'. A culinary experience combined with breathtaking views of the Grand Chasseral region.
This gourmet hike, with stops at two of the must-visit métairies of the Grand Chasseral on the heights of Montoz, invites you to discover regional specialities. The ascent of Montoz from Court or Péry is rewarded with a three-course meal (aperitif, main course and dessert) served in métairies — the region’s typical farm inns, where hospitality and conviviality are paramount.
