High mountains. Eid al Adha (Aid el Kebir) celebration: practical information

Saturday, July 9, 2022 will be the Muslim community's religious holiday Eid al Adha (or Eid el Kebir). A ritual sacrifice of sheep is performed on this occasion, which is considered the most important in the Muslim calendar. The beaters of Gap, Guillestre and other local businesses will be available on Saturday to ensure a smooth run of the day. After the prayer at 8:30 in Guillestre, the slaughter will take place for 32 euros. The slaughterhouse in Gap will be open between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. You can pay 25 euros for ritual slaughter. The Hautes-Alpes prefecture reminds you that it is against the law to transport, detain and slaughter sheep belonging to non-approved breeders. Violators can be punished with fines or criminal prosecution.
