Explore the Grande Cariçaie by canoe and discover the wildlife of Lake Neuchâtel in a unique nature reserve.
Paddling quietly, brushing past the reeds and keeping your eyes wide open – that's the essence of this canoe adventure in the heart of the Grande Cariçaie. Accompanied by a biologist, participants glide gently across Lake Neuchâtel, staying within the designated areas of the protected reserve. With a bit of luck, a great crested grebe, a cormorant or a family of red-crested pochards might appear between strokes.
A perfect activity for nature enthusiasts and lovers of peaceful outings where all senses come alive.
