From 1 to 15 November, Genève Avenue – in partnership with the Unireso fare association – will organise a fun operation entitled “La Chasse aux Aigles” intended to support local businesses and encourage the use of public transport. Local residents will be invited to visit the participating businesses to collect virtual eagles (QR code) for a chance of winning a prize.
Birds of prey shows in public areas
Knowing that happening and convivial public areas contribute to business activity, the City of Geneva was keen to become involved in this operation by organising birds of prey shows in public areas. White-tailed eagles, caracaras, buzzards and owls will take flight under the watchful eyes of the falconers of les Aigles du Léman.
These events and walks with the eagles will take place at the following times and in the following locations:
