Un lieu emblématique et intemporel. Un accueil chaleureux et authentique. Si vous aimez les Reines d’Hérens, vous en apprendrez grâce à la famille Sauthier.

L’endroit se situe dans une forêt de mélèzes exceptionnelle, qui, à elle seule vaut le déplacement. L’alpage compte un beau troupeau de vaches de la race d’Hérens, la race emblématique du Valais. Il est possible de se restaurer sur place, avec d’excellents produits de la région.
