Sagnes de la Godivelle National Nature Reserve

The reserve spans 143 hectares of wetlands and peat bogs, featuring two lakes called Lac-d'en-Haut and Lac-d'en-Bas at an elevation between 1165 and 1205 meters.

Established on June 27, 1975, with an initial area of 24 hectares, the reserve expanded to its current size in 2020 under management of Auvergne Regional Volcanic National Parks.

The protected wetlands contribute to environmental research through monitoring activities and scientific studies of more than 1500 documented plant and animal species.

Visitors can participate in guided summer tours and educational programs, with access to bird observation areas and informational displays about local wildlife.

The reserve contains specialized flora and fauna adapted to cold and wet conditions, including over 80 protected species listed in regional and international conservation registries.
