Overview

Intro

All year long you can see a number of things of our Universe as you have never seen them: star clusters, nebulas, galaxies... and also things that are closer to us: Jupiter and its moons, Saturn and its rings, Mars, Venus and of course the Moon (observations depending on the chosen date). With a little luck you can even see a comet, shooting stars, satellites... Come join us!

Welcome to the astronomic Observatory AstroVal!

These evening observations take place in the reception pavilion and then in the dome with our largest telescope (61cm in diameter), which is one of the largest in Suisse Romande.
