arbres avec volières

The Bois-de-la-Bâtie is much loved for its animal park covering approximately 2.5 hectares, open free of charge every day. Initially created to familiarise the urban population with the region’s wildlife, it now contributes to the conservation of heritage species.

Meeting the park’s residents

Il abrite également d’anciennes races d’animaux helvétiques en voie de disparition et appartenant à notre patrimoine, participant aux projets de conservation des espèces menacées menés par la fondation ProSpecieRara. 


The Bois-de-la-Bâtie animal park spreads over around 2.5 hectares and enables visitors to observe numerous species of regional wildlife and farm animals all year round. The park is particularly popular with families in spring time, when the residents give birth to a number of babies.

It is also home to ancient breeds of Swiss animals threatened by extinction that form part of our heritage and is involved in projects to conserve endangered species led by the ProSpecie Rara Foundation. 
 

For their health and security, no feeding of the animals in the animal park is permitted. 

Children’s route

Fun signage at children’s height allows little people who are curious to learn more about the animals living in the park. Children can follow the 30 or so signs at their own pace and play the games and quiz displayed on them.
