World Heritage Site

I have had the wonderful opportunity of working alongside Swiss wallers on this dry stone project at Belalp in Switzerland. The compound is still used to gather and sort sheep and goats in the high alps above 2000 metres . Many sections are in need of repair. Around 20 years ago major work was carried out using mortar, many of these sections are now requiring attention .The local and national authorities wish the work to be carried out using the traditional methods with dry stone.

During the time spent there I found several stone related features which will appear in future blog entries.
