From generation to generation, shepherds have brought their flocks to summer pastures on the pla de Soulcem .

Before the dam was built, this area was occupied by numerous families throughout the summer months.
However, some of the orris are still perfectly preserved, thanks to a rehabilitation campaign that has brought an entire village back into use, explaining the functions of each orri.
You'll find them just a few dozen meters from the Carla parking lot after the Soulcem dam.
At the Maison des Patrimoines in Auzat, you'll also find more detailed information on pastoralism. A book entitled orris, written by Jean Besset, is on sale at the Ariege Pyrenees Tourist Office.
