Désalpe de L'Etivaz - 27 September 2025

Discover a living tradition in L'Etivaz

On 27 September 2025, the village of L'Etivaz will be celebrating the herds that, after a summer on the mountain pastures, will be returning to their stables for the winter. Decked out in their finest bells, proud and full of flowers, the cows will parade past to the applause of the public, much to the delight of the herdsmen.
