Rank : 9.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : 46.936596, 6.720487 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Ibexes, chamosci, mason woodpecker, dwarf owl, hare, marmots. The ibexes are incredibly friendly and can be photographed easily. I think there are other animals as well, but I haven't seen them.

Recommended equipment : From wide angle to zoom, recommended at least 400mm for wildlife in the woods. A 70-200 is enough to photograph the ibexes.

Best months : All year round. In winter it is difficult to get there because the roads are snowy and are not cleaned.

How to get there : By car: the most convenient place is to park at the restaurant "Le Soliat" You can also get there by train, the station is in the village of Noiraigue and then there is a nice climb to do, called "Path of 14 curves" (Sentier des 14 Contours)

Visits : No, it is open all year round, being a nature reserve.

Notes : Beautiful rocky circus, born from the work of water and ice erosion. Called "The Grand Canyon of Switzerland." It is a nature reserve, very crowded on weekends.
