Livestock farming

Livestock farming involves moving flocks around depending on the season and the availability of natural resources. During summer, the herds find fresh grass in the mountains - this is known as transhumance, or moving to mountain pastures or summer pastures. During this time, the pastures on the plains are mown to provide food for the animals in winter. This type of farming has shaped the landscape, maintaining the pastures and keeping open environments, which is essential for biodiversity. Were it not for this practice, the forest would simply overgrow and take over everything. Behind every mountain pasture, there is an owner, so you are always in someone's home in the mountains because these are working areas. It's a balance that must be preserved, so stay on the trails and remember to keep the fences shut. There is enough space for everybody, so let us share this beautiful mountain together!
