The calades of Villard

This 50 metre calade in the hamlet of Villard comprises 13 “coltsfeet”. This arrangement of stones set without mortar, facilitated the passage of mule caravans in this steeper portion of the path. Between 2010 and 2014, a joint operation between the town of Termignon and the Vanoise National Park, through the involvement of the Park workers and subsidies granted to the town, resulted in the clearing of about ten cubic metres of land and the reconstruction of dry stone walls.
