A raccard in the village of Fiesch, Valais
Raccards are traditional granaries that can be found in parts of the Swiss Alps (usually in Valais). These structures are built above ground and are supported by wooden stilts. A circular stone slab, forming an overhang, is intercalated between the stilts and the granary to prevent rodents from gaining access to the grain or fodder reserves.
