Flower decorated herds and cowherds in traditional costume (bredzon) return to the flat lowlands after four months spent at their mountain huts. Cows, heifers, sheep and goats pass through the villages of Charmey and Albeuve from 9.00 onwards.
A folklore market with musical entertainment and exhibitions rounds off the traditional aspect of this event.
