With family or friends, the treasure hunt is an original activity that takes adventurers through the Grande Cariçaie nature reserve. The last answer gives access to the treasure, which is a delicious chocolate fondue served at the restaurant Frogs & Roses Café.
In the form of a fun game, participants set off from Estavayer-le-Lac to discover Switzerland’s largest lakeside marsh and, this year, to explore the geology of the nature reserve in particular. Questions, puzzles and riddles add enjoyment to the walk in the great outdoors. The investigators must use their powers of observation, reasoning and memory to solve the challenges at the eight stations. Their efforts are then rewarded with a delicious chocolate fondue and a small gift. In short, the treasure hunt is a delight for both young and old.
