Planning

Historical Context

Interlaken has been a tourist hub since the 1800s. Its central location made it the logical logistics hub for transporting chocolate and cheese from the surrounding valleys to the international elite who summered here.

Photography Tips

  • Use a wide-angle lens for the Alpine landscapes
  • High ISO may be needed inside the darker historical areas of the factories
  • Macro mode is perfect for capturing the details of artisanal truffles.

Insider Tips

  • Try the 'Choco-Pass' in some cities for extra tastings
  • Visit the factory in the morning to see the production lines in full swing
  • Don't skip the hot chocolate in the Maison Cailler café – it is legendary.

Our Partners

  • We proudly partner with Viator to bring you the widest selection of verified Swiss experiences.

Fun Facts

  • The average Swiss person eats about 11kg of chocolate per year!
  • Maison Cailler is the oldest chocolate brand in Switzerland still in existence.
  • The milk used in Gruyère chocolate comes from Alpine cows that graze on high-altitude wildflowers.
