Percorso a piedi : à la découverte du Plateau des Bornes

Facing the superb Aravis mountain range, on the foothills of the Salève, discover a magnificent panorama all the way to the Mont-Blanc chain, on the ancient Roman road linking Geneva to Annecy.It is a piedmont of the Northern Alps, below the Bauges mountains, deeply carved by the tributaries of the Arve, Fier and Usses streams. Take advantage of this haven of peace, where bucolic trails criss-cross this ancient glacial footprint, dotted with charming slate-roofed villages and wild ponds, where enthusiasts will discover protected flora such as superb carnation, Swiss woodruff, Loesel's liparis and Marsh lousewort. Along the way, you'll be able to admire the flight of the common snipe, the palucidole warbler or the crested lapwing, but you'll have to make a point of nesting in an observation hut on the Marquis pond. Don't forget your binoculars...

L'altopiano dei Bornes è costellato di zone umide di tipo palustre, che costituiscono una delle ricchezze della regione. L'Etang de Mouille Marin è una delle paludi più conosciute e ospita numerose specie animali e vegetali protette.

La chiesa di Saint-Laurent si trova nel centro di Menthonnex-en-Bornes.
