Set off on an adventure in the splendid Bois de Ban au Crêt forest, perched at an altitude of 930 metres and offering breathtaking views of the Mosse-d'En-Bas peat bog. Follow our friend the woodpecker along a path lined with wood chips and discover the birds that inhabit the forest.
This trail is a real invitation to play and learn for the whole family: slip into a giant birdhouse, climb up a perch in the trees and observe nature from a unique angle! Interactive and fun panels line the trail and reveal a wealth of fascinating information about birds and their habitat.
Along the way, you will discover educational and interactive panels, giant installations for playing and observing, and a picnic area where you can rest with your family.
And in winter, the magic is even more enchanting!
From December 1, 2025, to January 31, 2026, the trail is transformed into a true Christmas fairy tale. Each day, a little Advent calendar cabin is revealed, offering a surprise for the whole family to discover. A magical walk that is not to be missed by young and old alike!
