chocolate and cheese in Switzerland

Hi, We will be in Zermatt, Zurich and possibly Murren in July and wondered are there any good chocolate or cheese factories in those areas? Thank you!

ebenezer, in Mürren there is a small family run cheese operation on the walking path to Grutschalp, at which you can buy some of the local cheese (when its open). I don't think its "tour-able" and certainly not a factory, but worth checking out.

Rick Steves Switzerland guidebook discusses areas to visit for cheese making. On our hike from Murren to Gimmelwald, we stopped at a home to purchase cheese and meats. In case your itinerary changes, there is Aeschbach Chocolatier, a 10 minute train ride outside of Lucern. Took our 6 year old granddaughter there. Made our own chocolate bar, lots of samples, beautiful restaurant and gift shop!

The Lindt-Sprüngli factory is near Zurich, overlooking the beautiful Zürichsee. I have not visited, but others who have reported enjoying it.
