The starting point is by the primary school in Sautens (above the church). From there, you walk straight towards the playground where you will meet animals like a bee, a butterfly or an ant. A path across the meadow will lead you into the forest, where you see more animals such as the squirrl or the woodpecker. At the end of this path, you will reach a playground. In case of warm temperatues and little snow it is possible to play there in winter.  The path after the playground will guide you back to the primary school.
