The Changing Landscape

This wide road, partly created during the 1967 land reforms, crosses a stream at the bottom of the valley. Emerging just above the village of Croaz en Du, it feeds the Cabrec mill stream. Here, in the 1960s, there were only fields and pastures surrounded by wooded embankments. As in most areas, the slopes were then planted with softwoods, while the abandoned wet meadows were naturally reforested.
