TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR SPONSORS

"Here is a great project to support a unique breed and a symbol of the Valais! A sponsorship that is animated throughout the summer in a playful way and that makes you want to visit your goddaughter in the mountain pastures! How can you resist going to meet this Valaisan heritage, passionate breeders, discovering a region, tasting local cheese... During an inalpe, a visit to the mountain pasture, a desalpe, sponsoring the Hérens breed is also sharing a convivial moment and experiencing a condensed version of the Valais DNA!”
