September 2, 2025, Creux de Terre Nature Reserve

The Creux de Terre near Yverdon-les-Bains is an impressive karst sinkhole and also a significant nature reserve. The basin was formed by geological processes in which limestone sank, forming a funnel-shaped basin. Today, the area is home to moist meadows, ponds, small forests, and rich biodiversity. Amphibians such as frogs, toads, and newts find ideal living conditions here. Numerous bird species also breed or rest in the reserve. Walking trails with information panels lead through the basin and explain its geology, flora, and fauna. The Creux de Terre is easily accessible from nearby Yverdon.

Morond Lake is an artificial lake created to serve as a water reserve for the snow cannons of the Métabief resort. It also serves as a trout fishing pond. If it is forbidden to bathe there, its presence refreshes all the same. And nothing prevents you from soaking your cap in it to bring down your body temperature.
