Au fil des siècles, de génération en génération, les éleveurs ont façonné et entretenu les montagnes. Terres d’élevage, les Hautes vallées de Savoie – labellisées Pays d’art et d’histoire® – sont fortement marquées dans leurs paysages, leurs savoir-faire et leurs cultures par l’agriculture de montagne et le pastoralisme.
La Fondation Facim, le Syndicat du Beaufort et la Société d’Economie Alpestre de Savoie vous proposent des moments de découverte et de partage en compagnie des hommes et des femmes qui vivent de l’agriculture de montagne. Ils vous racontent leur histoire, leurs métiers, leurs savoir-faire ainsi que leur quotidien, et vous font goûter leurs produits.
Partez à leur rencontre le temps :
• d’une randonnée découverte (demi-journée ou journée) avec un accompagnateur en montagne
• d’une visite guidée (2h) ou d’un circuit guidé (3h) avec un guide du Pays d’art et d’histoire
