Enter the reed-bed landscape of the Grande Cariçaie via the boardwalks, climb the observation tower and spot numerous aquatic animals.
As you leave Yverdon-les-Bains, discover the Grande Cariçaie, the biggest lakeside wetland (or “Grosses Moos”) in Switzerland. An unexpectedly diverse natural environment awaits you on the route through the nature reserve. Cheyres is ideal for a well-earned rest, where you can enjoy the beach and bath or stroll around the harbour. Continue along the road towards Estavayer-le-Lac, a real centre for water sports, particularly for wakeboarding. It is also an exceptional mediaeval town. Its narrow paved streets and historic monuments, the authenticity of the surrounding area and vibrant natural environment may surprise you at first glance.
Tip: Cheyres has plenty of pleasant places where you can recharge your batteries right next to the lake.
