Jura vaudois Nature Park

The Parc Jura vaudois is a Regional Nature Park recognized as a site of national importance under the Federal Act on the Protection of Nature (LPN) in 2013. It spans from the summit of La Dôle to the historic town of Romainmôtier, passing through the Jura Foothills and the Vallée de Joux. Covering an area of 568 km² (20% of the Canton of Vaud), it is home to nearly 40,000 residents across 34 municipalities united by a shared vision. The park is managed by a non-profit association headquartered in Saint-George.

The Swiss Confederation has entrusted regional nature parks with five key missions:

• Preserving and enhancing the quality of nature and landscapes.
• Strengthening economic activities based on sustainable development.
• Raising public awareness and fostering education for sustainable development.
• Supporting research and fostering communication, partnerships, and territorial integrity.
