About this event


⚠️ Event concluded. Please check our updated agenda to discover new activities in this region.

The Festival de l’Alpage in Champoléon speaks the language of the Champsaur-Valgaudemar mountains: summer pastures, herds, shepherds, stone paths and high meadows. The alpage is treated as a working world, not as scenery. Walks, meetings, demonstrations and local encounters help reveal the knowledge behind seasonal grazing, from routes and tools to gestures learned in the field. In a valley often admired for peaks and hiking, the festival gives the people of the pastures their rightful place. It is a thoughtful celebration of mountain continuity, rural intelligence and the quiet labour that has shaped this part of the Ecrins landscape.
