What you’ll find

What Alp Ritz Lenk is known for

The Ritz family makes Berner Alpkäse AOP through the summer grazing season on Alp Ritz above Lenk, working the curds by hand into wheels that age from a mild Schnittkäse into a harder Hobelkäse. Cheese can be bought at the alp's own sales point or shipped by post.
