Hamlet of La Gittaz
Credit
: Vincent AUGE
Description
Like a number of others in the Vallée des Encombres, this hamlet was occasionally inhabited all year round, although living conditions in winter were extremely harsh. Its name originally meant a temporary dwelling, usually in the mountains, for use at the beginning and end of the summer season. Hence, it is the equivalent of “remue” or “chalet”.
