Ître: this term (from the Latin exterus) refers to the old shelters, shepherds' huts or temporary alpine chalets built of dry stone.
Research and remains: surveys and excavations in the Sery area have documented the structures of these high-altitude dwellings. They prove very ancient human occupation and pastoral activity, some of it dating back to prehistory (from the Neolithic and Mesolithic).
Enhancement and restoration: the îtres on the Sery alpine pasture have been carefully inventoried and restored. They keep their traditional stone exterior while having been secured to preserve this alpine heritage.
Accessible from the Brunet hut "Tour de Sery"
