At the foot of the Monts-d'Arvel and Le Grammont, near Villeneuve and Noville, Les Grangettes Nature Reserve is the last protected area on the shores of Lake Geneva. A paradise for nature lovers, it’s renowned for its unspoilt beauty.
Crouching behind bushes or reeds, visitors can admire a rich aquatic world. Here, if you’re patient, you can see egrets, kingfishers, beavers or a few migratory birds finding refuge in this unique habitat in Europe.
Starting from Villeneuve, there are three marked trails through this huge reserve, including a 30 minute walk, a one and a half hour walk or 4 a hour walk for the more energetic.
