A circular route dominated by yellow daffodils in the springtime.

Starting in Hauts-Geneveys, the trail leads up to Vue des Alpes. In late March, the fields are covered by thousands of daffodils; a unique spectacle to admire as you make your way up, with Lake Neuchatel and the Alps in the background. The route continues toward Tête de Ran and descends in the forest back down to your starting point.

Good to know

    • Period: usually between end of March and end of April
    • The daffodils are best admired on-site; to preserve the spectacle, we recommend that you don't pick any flowers. However, it is permitted to cut them for one hand-held bunch per person (pulling out the bulbs/roots is forbidden)
    • Every year the blossoming daffodils attract many visitors. Below are a few rules to follow so that everyone can enjoy the experience in the future:
    • use the official car parks
    • stay on the signposted trails (to avoid trampling rare plants or disturbing birds nesting on the ground)
    • close the fences
    • don't leave any garbage
