Highlights


Between golden days and first snowflakes: the Pays de Neuchâtel in motion

In the Neuchâtel Region, the mid-season reveals a special charm: between the warm tones of autumn and the first hints of winter, nature offers a changing and always captivating spectacle. Whether the forests are still glowing in gold or the landscapes are already touched by a light dusting of snow, the opportunities for escape remain plentiful.

The Neuchâtel mountain ridges invite you to explore—on trails that may be clear or gently frosted. Mountain-bike and cycling routes keep their magic as they cross forests, pastures, or peaceful lakeshores bathed in soft seasonal light. And on the lakes, the atmosphere shifts from day to day, creating scenery that feels welcoming in every season.

In the Neuchâtel Mountains, iconic places adapt to this natural rhythm:
  • Lac des Taillères, a changing mirror between autumn reflections and early frost,
  • the Saut du Doubs, whose flow and colours evolve with the season.
In Val-de-Travers:
  • the Creux du Van, majestic under the last golden tones or the first traces of snow.
On the Littoral:
  • Chaumont, offering bright panoramas of the Alps, whether they shine in the sun or shimmer in crisp winter air.
Here, every outing—on foot, by mountain bike, or simply in search of fresh air—brings you closer to a vibrant, living, ever-changing nature.

Move, breathe, explore — and let yourself be inspired by the unique beauty of Neuchâtel’s mid-season.
