Discovering the flavours of altitude

In Haute-Savoie, terroir is a story of passion and authenticity. Alpine cheeses, artisanal charcuterie, mountain honey or fruit from Lake Geneva: each product tells the story of a land, a climate and a know-how. Here, the producers open their doors, the markets smell of the local produce, and the flavours have the scent of the mountains.

Not to be missed An exceptional terroir to discover

In Haute-Savoie, terroir is more than just a list of products: it’s a living heritage. From reblochon to crozets, from Savoie tomme to Savoie wines and wild blueberries, every bite tells the story of a mountain, a valley and a tradition. PDO and quality labels bear witness to the care taken with local farming practices. Haute Savoie gastronomy, both rustic and refined, is rooted in ancestral know-how. Whether you’re a fan of cheeses, charcuterie, homemade jams or mountain beers, these products are a must for any stay in Haute-Savoie.

Experience Meet the producers in the heart of the mountain pastures

The terroir of Haute-Savoie can be experienced at first hand. Many farms open their doors for visitors to discover their work and their products. Watch Reblochon cheese being made in a mountain chalet or taste honey directly from a beekeeper. It’s an experience rich in emotion and learning. Through these encounters, we discover a world of passion, rigour and transmission. Some producers even offer participatory workshops or gourmet walks, combining discovery of the countryside with tasting. The welcome is warm, often family-style, and the exchanges authentic. These moments off the beaten track give a very special flavour to your holiday: the human element behind each product. Here, eating locally becomes an act of sharing. It’s a simple, authentic way to reconnect your palate with what’s essential.

Inspiration A land that makes you want to eat well

In Haute-Savoie, nature inspires sincere cuisine, nourished by the seasons and the mountains. Each product seems born to accompany the great landscapes: melted cheeses warm you up after a hard day’s work, red fruits refresh you after a summer hike, alpine plants perfume your herbal teas and homemade syrups. Chefs, both young and Michelin-starred, take advantage of these local treasures to create inventive cuisine that blends the local with the modern. Inspiration also comes from the simple gestures of producers, the slow pace of work, the raw beauty of farms and vegetable gardens. Haute-Savoie makes you want to eat better, to understand what’s on your plate and to take the time to enjoy it. It brings you back to basics: good, healthy produce that respects the environment. When you come here, you leave not only with gourmet memories, but also with the desire to cook, to buy better, to eat the real thing.
