Chästeilet - an old custom in the Justistal valley

Chästeilet at the Spychern in Justistal
The highlight and at the same time the end of the alpine summer in the Justistal is the Chästeilet. On this day, all owners of mountain rights come to the valley to collect their cheese.
Seven of the nine alps / alpine cooperatives share their cheese stores, which are located below Alp Spycherberg. Alp Spycherberg and Grön share at their own huts. The custom has been documented for almost 300 years, but is possibly much older.
