Description
The Champ-Pittet area is nice and so is the nature centre. The birds encountered are often not for hardcore birding, but there are always nice surprices and sometimes very nice surprises. Two kilometres of trail, much of it on wooden walkways, take you over the marshy ponds and meadows of the Champ-Pittet site. There is a bird hide and an observation tower.
