Production and sale of Beaufort AOC, winner of the Gold Medal at the 2025 Paris Agricultural Show. Sale of regional cheeses, butter, yoghurts, Savoie wines and more...
Online sales, 24-hour cheese supplier (credit card payments accepted).
Founded on the initiative of a handful of farmers, the "Coopérative Laitière de la Vallée des Arves" was established in October 1965 with the aim of organising the collection and sale of milk for the villages of Albiez le Vieux, Saint Jean d'Arves and Saint Sorlin d'Arves.
Across the Beaufort region, the maintenance of a thriving agricultural sector in our valley enables the upkeep of over 2 000 hectares, which serve as a playground for winter sports (skiing, snowshoeing...) as well as summer activities (hiking, exploring the local flora and fauna...).
Farmers are often multi-taskers. After the morning milking, you’ll likely find them teaching you the art of skiing, helping to run the ski lifts or guiding you to discover the secrets of the mountain pastures...
They’ll then return to their herd for the evening milking and offer you the fruit of the high mountains : Beaufort cheese !
