Nature workshops

Ideal for discovering wild mountain plants and their virtues: hikes to collect plants, theory and then practical workshops. Notebook painting and cookery workshops are also on the programme!

The educational farm of Grand-Bornand welcomes you: pigs, ducks, chickens and other animals as well as the plants of the garden await you. For half a day, come and live at the rhythm of a real small farmer.

After having passed your knife permit, come and escape into the nature of Grand-Bornand. You will put into practice all that you have learned and leave with your own souvenir of the mountains made with your own hands.

Saw, sand and nail your way to a miniature wooden hut, using pieces of wood of various shapes and salvaged materials.

In this workshop, children and their parents discover, through a story, animals that lived in the traditional farms of Grand-Bornand, with a physical, sensory and fun approach.

Before making fir and spruce syrup, we'll take the time to get to know these tall, emblematic mountain trees up close. We'll pick a few twigs and needles to make syrup, which we'll taste.
