Evolène, a municipality that has been exposed to avalanches for hundreds of years and was painfully hit in 1999, has learned over time to manage the avalanche phenomenon. This management is now part of its cultural heritage.
The exhibition highlights the means of preventing avalanches, such as knowing the places at risk in order to avoid building there, and the implementation of warning, evacuation and rescue systems. Since 2018, avalanche management has been listed as a UNESCO intangible cultural asset.
When ? From 3 July to 31 October 2021
Where: At the Haudères geology centre
Opening hours :
September - October | Sunday | 3pm - 6pm
Guided tours:
Reservations until noon the day before.
These tours will also take place on Sundays at 4pm on the following dates
Price: minimum CHF 40.00

At the same time, there will be activities in the village of Les Haudères in the form of a discovery tour. 10 stations will deal with avalanches and will be accompanied by a quiz and a competition for families and schoolchildren.
These quizzes and competitions are available in the shops, restaurants and hotels of the village.
