A guided walk through the Grande Cariçaie nature reserve followed by an immersive journey into prehistoric times.
A nature walk with a leap through time!
Setting off from Cheyres, this guided tour follows a trail rich in birdsong, reeds and the croaking of frogs.
In Gletterens, the mood shifts as the group visits the Lake Dwelling Village – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – for a hands-on dive into prehistory. Lighting fires the old-fashioned way, trying out a spear thrower and discovering how people once lived bring the adventure to life.
