Description
Rye bread, an ancient tradition...
Rye has been grown in Valais for centuries. The mountainous landscape and weather make it a suitable place to grow rye. Rye bread is an important and ancient regional tradition. In the past, people made rye bread that could be kept for several months: a village’s communal oven was lit only two or three times a year for the locals to bake their stock of bread. Nowadays, it is possible to revive this tradition by taking part in the "Making rye bread" activity organised in Grimentz and St-Luc.
In winter, the activity takes place on Fridays in Grimentz (from 4pm to 6pm) and Tuesdays in St-Luc (from 4pm to 6pm).
In summer, the activity takes place on Thursdays in Grimentz (from 5pm to 7pm) and on Tuesdays in St-Luc (from 4pm to 6pm).
