Take your litter home
Do not take shortcuts across pasturelandIn mountain pastures, protection dogs are there to protect the herds from predators (wolves, etc.).
When mountain biking, I adapt my behavior by going around the herd, pausing and getting off the bike so the dog can identify me.
Find out more about the actions to adopt with the article "Protection dogs: a context and actions to adopt".

Reading the landscape
The Vallouise valley is a tributary valley on the right-hand bank of the Durance. It is made up of three municipalities: Vallouise-Pelvoux, Les Vigneaux and, looking down from the heights, Puy-Saint-Vincent. This 25 km-long valley is dominated by numerous peaks, ranging in altitude from 980 metres, at the confluence of the Durance, to the peak of the Barre des Écrins at 4,102 metres (the highest point in the Les Écrins massif) and covers 18,541 hectares. Lying at the centre of the crystalline massif, the Vallouise valley is the gateway to the Parc National des Écrins and boasts exceptional and varied landscapes and a diverse wealth of fauna and flora.
