Parc naturel régional Jura vaudois - This Visitor Centre is the ideal place to find out more about what a Regional Nature Park is, and about the missions of the Jura vaudois Park.

The Centre is the first port of call for visitors to find out more about the Jura vaudois regional Nature Park. A permanent exhibition explains the missions entrusted to Swiss regional nature parks by the Confederation, including a presentation of the Park’s projects relating to the landscape, biodiversity, soft tourism, promotion of local produce and the local economy, and sustainable development education.
