Life on the slopes

From this flat area, where the Sales torrent rises to the surface, you can see many grassy slopes on the hillsides.
Inaccessible to livestock, the locals used to mow the grass to store it locally or bring it down to the valley. There had to be enough reserves to feed the animals in winter, a season that lasted a good 6 months in the mountains! The grass was such a precious resource that every risk was taken to ensure that every plot of grass was harvested.
