Gîte Alpage de La Peule

A working alpine farm just over 2,000 m up on the Swiss side of the Grand Col Ferret, La Peule is the first place to spend the night after the Italian border. You sleep in a dormitory or a small private cabin, next to a herd of around sixty dairy cows whose milk is turned on site into raclette, tomme and alpine butter. It makes an ideal stop to break up the long descent to Ferret and La Fouly; the cheese croûte is the house speciality.
