Reforestation

At the start of the century, humans deforested almost all of the mountains for fuel and building materials and the consequences were catastrophic. (avalanches, disastrous flooding downstream, etc). A gigantic reforestation operation with Austrian pines, Swiss mountain pines and larch was launched, during which this hut was built for the workers undertaking this task. A nursery, irrigated by a channel was even set up and its parallel furrows still exist above the track, just before the hut. The hut is today used by shepherds.
