La Garenne te propose de venir un après-midi découvrir ses pensionnaires en compagnie des soigneurs animaliers et des naturalistes du parc.

Fréquentant les éboulis, les friches et les chemins, le tussilage est une plante qui fleurit très tôt dans l’année. Cette espèce commence par développer ses fleurs avant ses feuilles. 

The Alpine ibex has a russet gray coat dotted with black, brown and white that varies in intensity and thickness with the seasons.

The HORNBACH stores in Etoy and LANDI in Lonay have generously donated around twenty fresh fir trees to La Garenne, so that they can be recycled in the park's enclosures.

A civilian position in environmental education is to be filled at La Garenne animal park for this year 2023.

The squirrel leaves his refuge to go and bite into a nut and he retraces his steps. His fingerprints are recognizable thanks to his 4 fingerprints on the front and 5 on the back.

Made of wooden branches clogged with mud, the beaver lodge has an entrance accessible only by an underwater passage. 

Our male deer is very active during this slab season, his hoarse cry resounds in the park and the surrounding forest.

To clean his coat and cool off, our male deer takes a little swim. Here is this moment in picture.

Today, we discovered this pretty little painted stone at the entrance to the care center. This year, several other artists have left their work of art in the park.

Rare today, this breed is hardy and hardy. Two jars are to be placed against good care. For more information: 022/366 11 14 / lagarenne@lagarenne.ch

​

This Friday, La Garenne will be present for the Night of the Bats at the Léman Museum in Nyon.

​

Reintroduced into the Jura mountains in the 19th century after having disappeared there, the Alpine Marmot can be seen today in high altitude lawns and pastures.

Females and male bearded vultures have white and black plumage and they adorn themselves with red pigments by taking clay mud baths. 

A moment of tenderness!

The two young ibexes born in the park about two weeks ago are in excellent health. 

Last week, two bats were found struggling on the ground near homes. They were taken care of as soon as they arrived at the care centre.

We are pleased to announce the birth of a baby ibex in the park. The newborn and its mother are doing well and are visible in the large aviary.

Last Saturday, many 

families took part in the workshops presented by La Garenne during “La Fête de la Nature” organized by the Fondation du Bois de Chênes. 

In partnership with the City of Gland, La Garenne will lead workshops on the theme of wood and the animals that use it, such as the European beaver, on May 31.

In partnership with the Bois de Chênes Foundation, La Garenne will lead workshops on the theme of animals on Saturday May 21, around the Bois de Chênes castle-farm.

Dear godmothers, dear godfathers, do not forget to register for the visit of the park and its residents on the day of May 7th.

A day of relaxation! The density of the hairs of its fur insulates it perfectly from water and cold. It is therefore able to remain active even during the winter.

La Garenne is present for a week in Nyon at the tourist office!

Go take a look, a contest awaits you.

La Garenne invites you to come for an afternoon to discover its residents in the company of animal caretakers and park naturalists.​

Our two goats of the Capra Grigia breed are to be placed! Also called gray mountain goat, this breed is robust and adapted to life in the mountain pastures of the southern Alps. 

The first flowers in the park herald the return of sunny days. Frequenting scree, wasteland and paths, coltsfoot is a plant that flowers very early in the year. 

The class of 6p05 students from the Mallieu college in Pully have done meticulous work to find out what our owls eat, through the study of their rejection balls.

La Garenne wishes you a happy sunny Sunday!

​

​

In the morning, the sun brings out the magnificent colors of the starlings in the park. Their black plumage is enhanced by brilliant reflections with green, purple, blue and brown.

A birth among sheep!

A few days ago one of our ewes gave birth to a lamb. The mother and her cream-colored newborn baby are doing very well.

The Northern Bald Ibis uses its long, curved bill to capture insects and worms from rocks, tall grass or mud. 

​

The deer are not bothered by the rain, even to bray! Although it is late in the season, our male deer has been bellowing for several days. 

A website specially dedicated to the La Garenne restaurant is available at the following address: www.restaurantgarenne.ch.

Probably native to the Middle East, the House Sparrow has spread widely across most of the planet, following humans and the cultivation of land.

​

​

Yawning is observed in many species of vertebrates, such as cats, wolves, deer, but also frogs, snakes, fish, etc. And that at different stages of life, even an embryo is able to yawn.

In the spring, the ibexes renew their coat by losing a large amount of hair. By rubbing against trees and rocks, they leave behind large tufts of hair.

The Griffon Vulture is a scavenger bird, it consumes dead animals, ibexes, sheep,... To find them, it often travels hundreds of kilometers by hovering at great heights.

Very powerful, the sense of smell of the wolf plays an important role for this animal. It allows it to feed, protect itself and communicate with its congeners. 
 

In the wild, when food is scarcer and snow falls heavily in winter, red deer leave the mountains to settle down in altitude.

Here is La Garenne under a nice layer of snow! The park is magnificent to visit with this white coat that has covered it. Don't forget to put on your winter clothes for the occasion.

For the past day, snow has settled in the park, illuminating the entire landscape. Our animals do not seem too disturbed by the snow, some are also clearly visible.

Often perceived as devoid of life, dead wood is nevertheless essential to the proper functioning of the forest by providing support, food and refuge for many species. 

A seasonal enrichment in the large aviary! Animal caretakers hid food in a pumpkin to encourage the animals to search for their meal.

Our young male is available for adoption! Born in La Garenne, this white male is very curious and calm. He also enjoys human contact and the company of children.

A male fawn was born in the park a few weeks ago! The mother and the young are doing very well and regularly go down to the hay rack with the rest of the herd.

Omnivorous, the Raccoon feeds on everything, plants, fruits, fish, eggs…. As in humans, it has several types of teeth, suitable for plants or meat.

Fallen from the nest a month and a half ago, a young dormouse has grown well since arriving at the care centre. Weaned and capable of independence, he was released into the wild yesterday.

On the night of August 26, many families came to discover the fascinating world of bats, owls and owls at the Musée du Léman.

The Eagle Owl is observed in mountainous and wooded areas with rocky ridges and ravines, preferably away from human activities.

Have lynx eyes!

This expression refers to a person or animal with excellent eyesight and a piercing gaze. 

Our wolves have lost their winter coat! Although their size is imposing, their gray-tawny coat offers them perfect camouflage in a landscape carpeted with dead leaves.

Our five young geese are to be placed!
Rare today, this rustic and robust breed from the county of Diepholz in Germany is bred in German-speaking Switzerland. 

To avoid obstacles and effectively locate its prey, the otter's muzzle is equipped with ultra-sensitive whiskers, called vibrissae.

​

La Garenne would like to thank Nyon Région Tourisme for its initiative to support the operation of the care center by donating 10.- for each reservation on their site. 

The care team prepares for spring, because during this period many young orphaned birds and mammals are brought to the centre.

In collaboration with ProSpecieRara, La Garenne offers you a pleasant guided tour in the park to discover rare domestic species. 

Two weeks ago, the second ewe in the park gave birth to a black and white lamb. Full of energy, the latter regularly cavorts.

A stork with black plumage enhanced by green and purple reflections! 

Unlike its cousin the White Stork, it prefers to live alone and frequent forests close to wetlands.

Our marmots have made cozy nests lined with dry grass, well sheltered in their burrow, to spend the winter. They will be visible again next spring.

Since last August, our young male has been placed in St-Cergue in a pretty area where he enjoys a large pasture in the company of other sheep.           _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_           _cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_         _cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_           _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_     _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_

​

Here comes the red deer!

​

​

​

​

​

​

The biggest of his family!

The European badger belongs to the family of mustelids like the marten, the weasel and the ermine. He is also the largest representative in Europe.

A member of the mustelidae family, the European otter is a small carnivore with an elongated body and short legs. Semi-aquatic, it frequents rivers with calm waterways from Western Europe to Eastern Asia and even North Africa.

An unhealthy and very emaciated hedgehog was brought to the center on July 28. To help him, we had to warm him up, feed him, clean his eyes and free him from the many parasites he was carrying. 

It makes your head spin!

​

The Owl of Athena's neck can rotate 270 degrees to better observe its surroundings (90 degrees in a human).

Families came to discover the fascinating world of bats through playful workshops presented by La Garenne during the “Les Perséides” event organized by the City of Gland.

Many drawings, words and poems were sent to Madame La Nuit during the “La nuit est belle” event. Congratulations to all and congratulations to Juliette who is the lucky winner of the La Garenne competition.

Carnations, poppies, St. John's wort, yarrow, vetches and many other wild plants bloomed in the park. A colorful presence that attracts pollinating insects, such as bees and butterflies.

Dès 1972, La Garenne s’est investie dans l’élevage de gypaètes barbus  pour participer au projet basé sur la reproduction de couples en captivité et le relâcher des jeunes dans la nature.

A lark was brought to the center on January 10, after being attacked by a cat. The care center team takes turns every day to feed him, so that he regains his strength.

Its fur, made up of dense hair, provides it with good insulation against the cold and allows it to remain active during this season.
