About agriculture in Aussois
Located in the Haute-Maurienne valley within the Savoie department, Aussois is a traditional alpine village perched on a sunny plateau at the edge of the Vanoise National Park. The surrounding landscape is characterized by steep mountain slopes, dense larch forests, and high-altitude pastures that stretch toward the jagged peaks of the French Alps.
Agriculture in this high-altitude region is predominantly centered on livestock farming, particularly dairy cattle and sheep. These animals graze on rich alpine meadows during the summer months, producing high-quality milk used for renowned regional cheeses like Beaufort and Tomme de Savoie. The area also supports small-scale traditional practices such as honey production and mountain forestry.
For farm workers and agronomists, opportunities are largely seasonal and revolve around the summer grazing period known as estivage. Typical roles include herding, milking in mountain chalets, and assistance with haymaking or artisan cheese production. Workers should be prepared for physically demanding conditions in a high-mountain environment where traditional farming methods still prevail.
