The nature reserves are among the rare spaces in Haute-Savoie where nature has remained intact, take advantage of them! But do not forget that to maintain the interest and the attractiveness of these nature reserves, we must observe certain rules.
Let's tether our dog for the tranquility of wildlife.
Let's not pick flowers, let's not collect fossils, to allow everyone to admire them.
We take away our waste to keep the place clean.
Let's not camp or make a fire so as not to leave traces of our passage. Bivouac areas are available to us at places called La Rollaz and La Balme.
Avoid noise and the practice of any activity likely to disturb the tranquility of wildlife and other users: overflight (paragliding, hang-gliding, helicopter, etc.) is prohibited within 300 m; motor vehicles are prohibited except for traditional activities (mountain pastures, forests, refuges) and chalet owners.
