    Hi, I am planning a trip to Switzerland in Sepemner which would be for around 7 days and I am planning to cover Zurich, Lucerne, Geneva, Interlaken. I would also have a 2 years old child with me and I would need to feed her cow milk, and it would be a great help if someone can tell me where I could get cow milk for her in Switzerland. Packaged milk is not a big problem but I would prefer that as well as fresh as possible. Thank you!

    Hi Ankita uttam,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps.

    The sale and consumption of raw milk is regulated in Switzerland. It is usually not widely advertised but you can get fresh cow’s milk direct from a dairy farm. The milk is usually dispensed from a machine (Milchautomat). Supermarkets such as Migros and Coop also sell packaged fresh milk. You can also order online from Farmy.
