The Désalpe festival is a way for the entire town to celebrate the hard work of the families and to give them and their livestock a warm welcome as they return for the winter!
This tradition is connected to the environment because it marks the end of the summer grazing season in the high mountain pastures. By taking cows up to the mountains to graze in the summer, farmers help preserve the natural landscape and biodiversity of the region. The festival highlights the relationship between people, animals and the land, showing how traditions can help protect the environment and the importance of sustainable farming in the Alps.
