Mountain biking

The Maison de la Tête de Moine is a historic outbuilding of the Bellelay Abbey, with an 800-year history. A good deal of background knowledge about the cheese tradition is conveyed on site, but the sculpture park is also absolutely worth seeing.

Hiking

A bit touristy. But you can stock up on cheese and have a coffee there.

This is a Swiss cultural highlight featuring the museum for the Tête de Moine cheese. There is a café in and outside, offering several items, it is nice but if you are looking for a nice meal also try the restaurant 100 meters down the road. The approach from Le Fuet to Bellelay is a very nice route on smooth asphalt, with little traffic, with 4-5 automobiles passing on the way up.
