INTERESTING FACT :
In the past, alpine pastures were much valued by the village communities. The villages of La Giettaz and Cordon were in dispute over land for a long period, with the legal case over boundaries marking the pastureland of both villages lasting more than 300 years, from the 15th century through to the 18th.
