White rooftops and black noses

Discover the black-nosed sheep and the delights of the farm

Release
February 2026

In summer, they frolic the Alpine fields and wildflowers. But what happens to the black nosed sheep in the winter? They move to the stable, of course! Their curly white coats and black ears and legs are charming indeed. You can get close and personal with them every Wednesday from 17 December to mid-April, accompanied by the Julen family, who take great care to share the inner workings of this Valais tradition which they have helped resurrect. You may get to pet one (if you’re lucky) and will enjoy an aperitif plate with cheese, dried meats and sausage from the farm.
