"In the heart of an alpine meadow, at an altitude of 1500 metres, in the Monges mountains, approximately 5 km west of the village itself, you will arrive at the discovery trail of the Cubertin arboretum. A Natura 2000 contract, “creation of a forest pond”, was established in 2019 to promote biodiversity, particularly the population of western barbastelle. Educational panels on wildlife, a pond, and an observation cabin have been created, and nest boxes have been installed. The western barbastelle is a forest bat species that is very present in the communal forest of Auzet. The forest pond helps provide water for the bats and other bird species, reptiles and insects.

This bat is listed as an annexe II species by the Habitats - Fauna - Flora directive. The conservation of its hibernation, reproduction and transit habitats is crucial.

This pleasant hiking trail in a green and preserved environment features an observation cabin with non-reflective glass windows for enjoyable wildlife observations.
