With his proverbial stealthy stride, the animal got close to his friend and stretched near him to \u201ctake the measures\u201d. You must know that, according to what\u2019s said, that the lynxes use to sneak near their prey to evaluate the size before attacking it.<\/p>\n<p>The animal went away, stealthy as it arrived. So, the farmer who had seen the scene jumped down from his pallet and woke up his colleague. Together they climbed the high haystack. Just in time: seconds after they reached the top, they saw that from the bend of the road two chaloun were approaching to attack.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2445\" src=\"http:\/\/valdesina.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pra_seuli2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/valdesina.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pra_seuli2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/valdesina.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pra_seuli2-604x403.jpg 604w, https:\/\/valdesina.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pra_seuli2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/valdesina.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/pra_seuli2-825x550.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Quickly, one of the two farmers took off the shirt and filled it with hay. When the beasts came very close he threw down on the mountain side the puppet, as far as he could. Their idea was good: the two lynxes started to run breathlessy chasing it, confusing it with a running man.<br \/>\nThe two men didn\u2019t wait a second, descended from the haystack and ran towards an isolated farmhouse. When they closed the door behind them they noticed, with great relief, that the door had a huge deadbolt, and that meant that they were safe. Of course, due to the scare, I can imagine that they spent all the night wide awake.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2446\" src=\"http:\/\/valdesina.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/fontana_pra_seuli.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/valdesina.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/fontana_pra_seuli.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/valdesina.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/fontana_pra_seuli-604x403.jpg 604w, https:\/\/valdesina.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/fontana_pra_seuli-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/valdesina.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/fontana_pra_seuli-825x550.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In past times the lynxes lived in our mountains, but they became extinct during Nineteenth century. Recently it seems that this beautiful animal is slowly appearing again in the Alps, but you don\u2019t have to worry! The lynxes as hungry hunters lived only in the legends, but in the real world they\u2019re elusive and harmless animals. I\u2019ve never had the chance to see one of this animals in the wilderness. And what about you?<br \/>\n<em><strong>How to get here<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em>From Pinerolo take SP161 in the direction of Val Pellice. After Luserna San Giovanni turn right at the roundabout of Via Masel. Then, drive on Strada del Ciabas until you get a the fork. At that point you have to turn right in Localit\u00e0 Malan Superiori. Go straight for 10km, until you\u2019ll reach Rifugio Jumarre. Here you have to leave your car and walk on the unpaved road following the directions to \u201cAlpeggi Infernet, Sourian, Cr\u00ebvlira\u201d. After 20 minutes on the road that passes over Localit\u00e0 Bagnou, you\u2019ll see the <a href=\"http:\/\/valdesina.it\/en\/2016\/08\/12\/legend-il-peirun-bagnou-angrogna\/\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Peiroun<\/span><\/a>.
