Spread over 24 hectares, with a lakeside of 1.2 km, the Rovorée-La Châtaignière site is made up of two public properties belonging to the Haute Savoie Departmental Council and the Coast and Lakeside Preservation Authority.
It is a Protected Nature Area, and area for family walks and relaxation, with signposted paths. It has a remarkable group of chestnut trees which are several hundred years old, and is accessible on foot along the green path leaving from Yvoire, or by the sun-shuttle which runs during the summer season.
Also to be seen on the site : a cultural exhibition “Impressions of Lakes” in the Chestnut Forest House.
