Le bonheur est à l'alpage
Until the 1960s, the municipality of Hérémence had about ten alpine pastures. Life in the alpine pasture continues today, perpetuating the alpine tradition of our ancestors. But what is an alpine pasture? It is a vast high-altitude territory where the beautiful Hérens cows graze during the summer.
Several are still in operation and have become agro-tourism sites to discover and visit during the summer season. What if you went up to the alpine pasture this summer?

the alpine shuttle
Imagine a bus that takes you up to the high altitude to hike from alpine pasture to alpine pasture without effort. A real good plan!

Meeting the Hérens cows
From the end of June until early August, the Hérens cows are on summer vacation in Mandelon. In early August, they will join the Essertze alpine pasture on the opposite slope where they will stay until early autumn before descending back to the meadows
