Hay meadows of la Laya

Formerly mown and grazed, these meadows have slowly turned into woods since the abandonment of all pastoral activity.
Shrubs and spruce have gradually colonised these former meadows. This is known as the closure of the environment, endangering certain plants such as the Golden Oat, a favourite snack of the livestock, and the Alpine Colchicum.
Since 2014, the Nature Reserve has been clearing the undergrowth and mowing the meadows regularly in order to restore their function as summertime pastures.
