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

Before the dam saw the light of day, this area was occupied by many families throughout the summer.
However, there are still orris in perfect conservation since a rehabilitation campaign has made it possible to rehabilitate an entire village which explains the functions of each orri.
You will easily find them a few dozen meters from the Carla car park after the Soulcem dam.
You will also find more important information on pastoralism at the Heritage House in Auzat. There is a book called orris written by Jean Besset on sale at the Ariège Pyrenees tourist office.
