Ferme Auberge du Glasborn-Linge, Mountain farm restaurant at Col du Linge, Soultzeren, France
The Ferme Auberge du Glasborn-Linge sits at 950 meters (3,100 feet) elevation at Col du Linge and is a farmhouse restaurant with a dining room where raw stone walls and wooden elements reflect local building traditions. The structure combines traditional architecture with an open cheese-making area, keeping production visible to those who dine here.
The building was destroyed during World War I battles at Col du Linge and was rebuilt in 1926 by the Didierjean family. This reconstruction turned the place into a key site for local recovery and rural heritage in the Vosges region.
The restaurant carries on the Marcaire tradition, an old mountain farming way of life that has shaped the area for generations and determines what appears on the menu. The connection to local cattle raising and cheese making is visible everywhere, defining daily life at this altitude.
The place opens Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Wednesdays and weekends. Advance telephone reservations are essential if you want to eat here.
Diners can watch cheese being made through a glass window in the dining room while eating, seeing the craft in real time. This direct closeness to production turns the meal into a complete sensory experience.
