For two days, throughout French -speaking Switzerland, companies in the wood sector open their doors to the public for direct immersion in an often invisible but fundamental universe. Demonstrations, meetings, practical workshops, impressive machines, ancestral know-how … and a good smell of fresh sawdust.
Open doors of the Swiss wood sector
Demonstrations in the forest, manufacturing workshops, guided tours, meetings with craftsmen, quizs, games, entertainment for children … Each place offers its own way of making you live wood from the inside. Some events are experienced in the great outdoors, others in family businesses or large high-tech sawmills.
