Fondation Maison des Alpes

Founded in 2002, the Maison des Alpes Foundation aims to promote the cultural and natural heritage of the Alpine arc while creating a visitor center dedicated to geosciences, blending expertise with education.

In 2005, the foundation acquired the historic "De Ribaupierre" building (built in 1543) in La Fauchère (Evolène). In 2015, it took over the Geology and Glaciology Center, an exhibition space originally established in 1990 by the cultural association Evolèn’Art. Located in the former school building in Les Haudères (Evolène), the center is open from June to October for two afternoons a week and during winter by appointment. In 2018, the center welcomed approximately 200 visitors.
