With binoculars and cameras in hand, the walkers criss-cross the Grande Cariçaie for two hours accompanied by a guide.

Birdwatchers and hikers discover, for a few hours, the shores of Lake Neuchâtel in Estavayer-le-Lac from an ornithological perspective. Guided through a route punctuated by several observation points, they stroll along the shores in search of prime gathering spots for waterfowl.

This excursion takes place in strict compliance with the rules of the nature reserve, in areas that are freely accessible to the public. To avoid disturbing wildlife and to facilitate observation, dog owners are advised to leave their pets at home.
