Where Recreation meets Pastoralism

From Maison de la Transhumance:

With the rise in tourism, and the way in which transhumance has allowed this to happen, such as watering points, access paths the ambience of herding including bells, chalets in good condition, the greeting by shepherds and breeders, all make for a living mountain.

But sharing the space is not without generating some use responsibility problems: communication towards that public to be more or less aware of pastoral issues has become essential.
