Inaugurated in 1976<\/strong>, the Walser Museum of Alagna is a perfectly preserved mountain hut<\/strong> dating back to 1628.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Walser people built dwellings that, under the same roof, housed the stable, areas for rest, social life, and food storage, forming a harmonious synthesis of the fundamental needs of these high-altitude farmers. The museum shows how the ancient Walser were able to create an efficient system within the home, well suited to their need for self-sufficiency, and tells the story of daily life through everyday tools, following a carefully curated path through the material culture of the early inhabitants of Alagna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three-storey building has a dry-stone base on which rests the wooden Blockbau<\/em> structure, made entirely of original wood, while the roof is covered with piode<\/em> (blatte<\/em>), stone slabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the current museum layout, the semi-basement floor houses the stable<\/strong> (Godu<\/em>), with a stone floor, the adjacent and communicating living room<\/strong> (Stand<\/em>), with a wooden floor, the kitchen<\/strong> (Firhus<\/em>) with tools for cooking, the room for milk processing, and the area for yarn preparation and hemp weaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the raised ground floor<\/strong>, above the stable, are the bedroom<\/strong> (Stuba<\/em>) with its alcove, the room for storing carpentry tools, the area displaying handcrafted objects, and the document room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the top floor<\/strong>, visitors can see the hayloft<\/strong> (Stodal<\/em>), displaying tools for agriculture and woodworking, and the pantry (Spicher<\/em>), with shelves and racks used for storing cereals and foodstuffs. Surrounding the building are the perfectly preserved pole-supported balconies, a characteristic feature of the Walser houses of Alagna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
