Access

La Maison Départementale des Alpages est implantée à Besse en Oisans, commune qui possède le plus important alpage du département : le plateau d’Emparis, qui s’étale sur 2 900 hectares. Ces alpages, de par leur histoire, leur évolution et le fait qu’ils soient toujours en activité, forment un terrain propice à la mise en relation des acteurs de ce pastoralisme avec les différents publics.
