Advice
Be careful when crossing the cliffs. You will cross part of the regulated departmental area of Ambel, picking flowers is prohibited. Similarly on a large part of the circuit, dogs are prohibited by departmental decree from May 1 to October 30, even on a leash. Thinking about closing the gates of the parks is also to think of the shepherds and the flocks!
Les chiens de protection des troupeaux
En alpage, les chiens de protection sont là pour protéger les troupeaux des prédateurs.
Lorsque je randonne, j’adapte mon comportement en contournant le troupeau et en marquant une pause pour que le chien m’identifie.
c'est quoi au juste un chien de protection ?
