In Corjon there's no electricity but a solar facility has been installed and they have a generator. They benefit from direct milking.

The whole water system was renovated in 2014 and as the 2015 season was very dry, it was a test year for the new installation!

The Tenas represent 2 generations working as a family, with one employee. They also welcome 'chalet boys' (or "bouèbes"!) who give a real helping hand and liven up the alpine dairy!

In 1999, the chalet roof was blown off  by the storm Lothar. It was rebuilt during summer 2000
