The Shepherdess

Nathalie Taiana

The Zwischbergen Valley lies between the cantons of Valais and Ticino. Shepherdess Daniela Ruch lives in this rugged landscape with her dogs for several months. She receives support in herding herds from volunteers like Emma Cossy. She watches and patrols the flock all night long to protect it from potential predators.
