IN THE EARLY DAYS of the Ivöri migration, legend has it that an Ivöri Prince cast the last wheel of goat cheese down the slope of Altwegg hill after a rather harsh winter. It is said that the Prince acted upon his urges to test his men. The first knight to reach the bottom was then declared the Knight of the Wheel by the Prince.

 

The ancient festivity has since taken on multiple purposes, such as for recreation, however, the original meaning of the race still resides, nested deep inside the wheel of cheese. It symbolizes the Ivöri people’s resilience to overcoming challenges presented by God himself.

 

The Princely House of Keen invites both native Ivörian’s and foreigners to partake in this age-old tradition, the winner will receive a cash prize of 100 mina and the title Lord or Lady of the Wheel.

FORMAT

Prior to the start of the competition, a wheel of goat cheese will be prepared by Ivörian cheesemakers. A designated Cheese Master will be assigned with dragging the cheese up the hill. 

 

Before the cheese is released, contestants will line up behind a white, chalk line, which marks the starting point.

 

Once all the contestants are lined up, the cheesemaster will yell: “One, two, three – CHEESE!”

 

The cheese will then be released, upon which contestants will hurl and throw themselves after the cheese. The first one to cross the red chalk line will be declared the Lord or Lady of the Wheel.
