Corsica. Transhumance

From Calenzana to Corscia (Upper-Corsica)

Transhumance in Haute-Corse takes place between spring and autumn. In spring, flocks of sheep, goats, and cattle are driven from the plains to the mountains, where they will find fresh grass and more abundant pastures. In autumn, the flocks return to the plains, where they will be more protected from the cold and snow. Transhumance in Haute-Corse is a very physical activity that requires a great deal of experience and expertise. Shepherds must lead their flocks along often steep and difficult trails.
