Thones

Few towns in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes have a history as closely tied to the making of Reblochon as Thônes. In the valley of the Fier River, below the Aravis Massif, it lies between Annecy and the alpine pastures around La Clusaz and Manigod. Thônes remains one of the historic centres of Reblochon, the soft washed-rind cheese made with milk from mountain farms in the Aravis; its protected designation of origin anchors the product to this part of Haute-Savoie. The Maison du Reblochon recounts the cheese’s local story, while roads beyond town lead through grazing country and high valleys.
