In the massif of bargyat Le Reposoir (Haute-Savoie), a major sensitive area has been established at the level of bearded vulture niches. It is forbidden to approach because, on the mountain walls, these vultures brood. We are a bit at home in the Massif du bargy. They have been reintroduced same here over 30 years ago. Today, 22 pairs have been listed in the French Alps.

The reproduction of bearded vultures is long. It starts in the fall with nest building and then mating in December. An incubation which will then last two months, at this very moment, then four months of breeding. In order not to encourage the most rebellious photographers and sportsmen to approach the nest and disturb the animal, the experts do not share images of bearded vultures in the process of hatching. species remains indeed fragile and very fierce.
