The mountain sides were once scattered with such huts (known as <i>buron<\/i>); until the 1950s, shepherds would spend their summers here with a herd of cows and their milking hands making cheese. Since then, many have fallen into disrepair, but Pfeffer restored this hut with the help of local craftsmen, using simple, natural materials such as beech wood from the local forest, stone, felt, and linen. Should you yearn for such bucolic bliss, the <i>buron<\/i> is available for rent.
