Kaseteilet is German for "dividing of the cheese". As to what this means... a google.com search yielded five results, four of which proclaimed that something with that name occurs sometime in September in Switzerland. Not so helpful... The other hit I came up with is an account of someone's travels in Switzerland and describes "the dividing of the cheese" as when villagers line up, roll large wheels of newly-made cheese down the line, and mark each cheese for a family in the village. It seems like a plausible answer to your question, and I have yet to find anything more precise. I'll edit this answer if I do, though.

Swiss cows from the mountain regions spend summers even higher in the mountains, at the "Alp", where there is barely civilisation. They are watched over by a team of two to four people (in German they are called "Senn") who make cheese from the cows milk during this time. As they take with them the cows of various farmers, when they come back down from the Alp with their herd (usually end of September), the cheese must be divided so that the right amount of cheese can be given to the right farmer. This "Chästeilet" (dividing of the cheese) is celebrated by the local people at some places. The most famous Chästeilte are in Valley of Justis, Mägisalp and Hasliberg. In some places there is also the "Niidlete", where the amount of milk each cow can give is measured before their departure to the Alp (around July), so that the Chästeilet can be done as accurate as possible. This as well can involve some "partying", but doesn't necessarily. Now, if you think this is a lousy excuse for celebrating, I can tell you, the Swiss have actually come up with even stranger ones...
