A historical itinerary following the foot messengers who used the Jaman mountain pass. In the 18th and 19th centuries, these men carried the mail between Vevey and Rossinière, all year round and whatever the weather. Who are they, who did they meet, what were their working conditions? Reading through the archives, writers’ tales and tourists notebooks, we have tried to evoke the life of a way of communication and that of the Morier family who worked for the post.
