In the summer you see them grazing Alpine pastures for wildflowers, but what happens to the Blacknose sheep in the winter? They return to the barn, of course! These charming creatures are known for the black on their noses, eyes, ears, knees, hocks and feet, and their long, white woolly coats. You can visit them every Wednesday from mid-December to mid-April, accompanied by Paul Julen or his son Paul-Marc, who love to share this unique Valais tradition with visitors. If you’re lucky, you might get to pet a sheep, but you’ll definitely get to enjoy a delicious apéro with wine, cheese, and dried meats from the farm.
