Why choose Avully for a family outing?

The pond of Touvière is a small open-air lesson in nature. This preserved body of water is home to amphibians, dragonflies, and waterfowl: an ideal observation outing with children, especially in spring, when the pond buzzes with life. We walk slowly, we observe, we listen — and we leave with a thousand questions from little naturalists.

The walk easily continues into the countryside of Avully: paths between fields, peaceful hamlets, and views towards the Vuache and the Jura accompany our steps. The area is wonderfully suited for family biking on little-traveled roads.

To introduce children to nature without going far, the Geneva Champagne is a valuable ally — and Avully is one of its prettiest starting points.
