A path dedicated to Jòrs d ‘Snive (Giorgio Bertaina 1902-1976), sculptor who carved wooden characters with a knife, including many musicians, and scenes of everyday life; a lover of Occitan life. A path that, through roofs and woods, chestnut groves and hamlets, leads to the house where Jòrs created most of his works, symbolizing the guiding element of the “museum of the works of Jòrs d ‘Snive”. The road, marked with red notches, touches Teit Lesibel, Teit Rescas, to reach the home-workshop of Jòrs d’ Snive (just below Le Piagge).

The route allows you to relive elements and culture typical of the rural mountain tradition of the Occitan valleys.
