August 20, 2026, Rifugio La Tchavana di Alpe Mezzan

La Tchavana is a high-altitude cheese producer and farm, founded in 1999 at Alpe Metsan, at an altitude of 2,000 meters in the Val d’Ayas. With a view towards Monte Rosa and its heart rooted in the high-altitude pastures of Alpe Metsan, at 2000 meters above sea level, born from the Bagnod family's dream of reviving an ancient mountain pasture. Here, agricultural tradition intertwines with the mountain, free-ranging pastures, animals raised with respect, and milk that becomes cheese every day. In the farm, we also find the “Crotta de Metsan”, the highest cellar in Europe, powered by a waterfall from a glacier spring, it serves to maintain a constant temperature of 6°C in the cheese aging environment.
