WOMEN AND THE ALPINE SEASON
"I tended the cows on the Brischeru alp for 17 summers, milked them myself every day and made cheese and butter, while my husband took care of the lower goods. The men had to mow and water down in the valley (...)".
Olga Jeitziner, Mund
The Alpine season has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2023 and has a long tradition in large parts of Switzerland and in Valais. In Upper Valais, the role of women in alpine farming has traditionally played a central role. During the summer months, it was often women and children who took the cattle to the Alps, where they milked the cows and processed the milk into cheese and butter, while the men were busy mowing and watering the meadows further down in the valley. The alpine season was therefore largely in the hands of women.
The exhibition "Women and the alpine season" provides an insight into traditional alpine farming in the region of the municipality of Naters and highlights the role of women in this cultural heritage, which is still little known today.
