THE HAMLET OF LANNAZ
Val d’Hérens
You are now arrived at Lannaz, the end of our walk on the Désalpe trail!
Lannaz is a historic hamlet, protected and classified as a heritage site of national importance. It currently has only fifteen or so year-round inhabitants. The village is built in the shape of a ring, where the ancestral houses and the chapel form a circle around a meadow. The latter was built in 1711 and is dedicated to St. Lawrence.
The hamlet is located at the start of the road to several mayens and alpine pastures. This is particularly true of the hamlet of Arbey, which is famous for its lake and its incredible view of the Dent-Blanche.
Legend has it that in the song "Les Trois Cloches", written by Gilles in 1939 and made famous years later by Edith Piaf, Lannaz is referred to as the famous "village at the bottom of the valley".
We hope you will leave with a lot of new knowledge and a positive image of agriculture and farmers.
The cohabitation between our way of life and that of the guests who stay in the region is not always easy (cowbells at night, manure spreading in the meadows surrounding the chalets, etc.). ) but the valley's agricultural activity ensures the maintenance of our landscapes, offers excellent local products, preserves biodiversity and provides a living for many families in our beautiful region!
We look forward to seeing you soon on the mountain pasture, at the queen match or in the restaurant over a good raclette!
See you soon!
