Juraparc, Wildlife park in Vallorbe, Switzerland

Juraparc is a wildlife park at Mont d'Orzeires in Vallorbe, Switzerland, covering nearly 7 hectares of semi-open enclosures and a educational farm. It houses American bison, wolves, brown bears, and Przewalski's horses. Elevated walkways and high observation points allow visitors to view the animals.

The park started in 1987 with American bison and later expanded its animal collection to include brown bears and wolves. This selection of species reflects the fauna that historically lived in the Jura region.

The on-site restaurant in Canadian chalet style serves local dishes like buffalo meat and fondue to visitors who can eat indoors or outdoors.

Animal feeding happens daily at 2:30 PM, with extra sessions at 10 AM on weekends during warmer months. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for changing weather conditions at this altitude.

Visitors walk on a 3.5-meter-high elevated pathway that stretches for one kilometer, providing clear sightlines to the animals. This raised position allows observation of behaviors and movements that would be difficult to see from ground level.
