picto familyShepherd, a life in the mountains

Meet a shepherd in the heart of the summer pastures and immerse yourself in the authentic world of alpine life. A quick ski lift ride will whisk you up to the high pastures where the flocks graze, amidst the breathtaking scenery of the Belleville Valley.
Once there, chat with a passionate shepherd who will share his daily life, dictated by the seasons, the weather, and the animals. Discover how a flock of sheep works, the essential role of herding and guard dogs (the famous Patous), and the realities of the profession, a blend of tradition and contemporary challenges. A rare and invaluable immersion to better understand this iconic mountain activity.
An outing to enjoy as a family, for young and old alike who are curious about nature and pastoralism.
