Throughout the season, the herd will move between the various alpine pasture areas depending on grass growth, thanks to the shepherds’ expertise.

To facilitate coexistence, all alpine pasture areas have been mapped specifying:

• the types of animals,
• the projected dates of their presence (updated throughout the season based on information provided by the shepherds)
• and whether the herds are protected by guard dogs.

2 types of zones :

• The colored areas: presence of a herd during the current period.
• The dotted areas: presence of a herd during a future period.

This information indicates a high probability of the herd’s presence or absence in the defined areas. However, you may still encounter a livestock guard dog anywhere on the mountain pasture. 

Whether the herd is present or not, please respect the rules for coexistence on the mountain pasture.

Two ways to find information about alpine pasture areas:  

1. Category SHARE NATURE > MAP or LIST tab
2. Warning message on each site and route
