For families, it is a destination for observation and discovery: people come to get close to the wildlife of Lake Geneva, binoculars around their necks, and then continue with a stroll along the water's edge.

Nature Center and Natural Reserve of Pointe à la Bise
Feeling like a nature getaway by the lake, just a stone's throw from Geneva? In Collonge-Bellerive, the Pointe à la Bise reserve unfolds its reed beds, educational trail, and observation tower: an ideal discovery area for birdwatching with the family and taking a deep breath.
Why choose Collonge-Bellerive for a family outing?
The nature center of Pointe à la Bise, managed by Pro Natura, is a gem for curious families. Along the observatories and trails, children discover the nature reserve and its inhabitants: water birds, beavers, dragonflies, and all the small wildlife of the reed bed. The center's activities make the visit lively and accessible, even for the youngest naturalists.
It's an outing that differs from playgrounds: here, you learn to look, to listen, to be patient — and the reward is often there, a rare species in flight or a fresh track by the water's edge.
With its countryside paths, views of the lake, and proximity to the village of Hermance or the beach of La Belotte, Collonge-Bellerive fits perfectly into a day of exploration on the left bank. Preserved nature and wonder guaranteed.
