What is Les Aigles du Léman
Les Aigles du Léman is an 8-hectare wildlife park located in the Domaine du Guidou in Sciez, on the shores of Lake Léman, entirely dedicated to the knowledge and protection of birds of prey. The park is home to nearly 350 birds belonging to more than 80 different species — eagles, sea eagles, condors, buzzards, owls, and hawks — distributed across more than one hundred aviaries designed for their welfare and breeding.
The park's main attraction is La Terre des Aigles, the world's largest bird of prey aviary with an area of 18,000 m², where approximately sixty birds roam in complete freedom around visitors in a unique immersive experience. The park also offers four different daily shows in its Eagle Stadium with 1,000 seats (400 covered), allowing visitors to observe raptors in flight just metres above their heads.
Since its creation, Les Aigles du Léman has conducted an important conservation and reintroduction programme for the white-tailed eagle in the Lake Léman region, visible in the dedicated eagle house. The park also operates a winter park located at 1,500 m altitude at Pointe de Nyon (Morzine), open December to March during ski season.
