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 St-Luc.
The activity takes place on Tuesdays in St-Luc (4 pm to 6 pm).
