Yes, we have a natural area that forms part of the Pfyn-Finges Nature Park within our boundaries. You can access this area if showing the utmost respect for the surrounding flora and fauna. Other areas also demand respect, such as the mountain pastures, as well as the biodiversity around our lakes – such as Lac Miriouges – and our local farmers’ land. Even the smallest plot in nature is treasured, and deserves to be treated in ways that help preserve it.
The flora and fauna are part of the beauty of our landscapes both in summer and winter, so we recommend taking the utmost care of them, specifically by adopting sustainable practices.
