Autumn Colours in the Pays de Neuchâtel: Go at Your Own Pace!
The landscapes are gradually taking on new colours, the light is becoming softer and the temperatures invite you to make the most of the great outdoors. Whether you want to admire iconic sights, head out on a hike or discover the authentic character of our mountain farms, the destination has something for everyone.
PANORAMAS
In the Neuchâtel Mountains, the landscapes take on beautiful autumn colours, while Lac des Taillères offers stunning reflections.
In the Val de Travers, the Creux du Van reveals its dramatic cliffs, forests and striking contrasts, particularly spectacular as the autumn colours set in.
In the Val-de-Ruz, wide meadows and gentle valleys unfold in the soft autumn light, with sweeping views from the Vue des Alpes.
And on the Neuchâtel lakeshore, Chaumont offers beautiful views over Lake Neuchâtel and the Alps, in an atmosphere perfect for autumn walks.
EXPLORATION
Between lake and mountains, the Neuchâtel Region offers the perfect playground for enjoying the great outdoors, surrounded by landscapes that are as varied as they are inspiring.
On foot, trails invite you to explore panoramic ridges, forests and wild gorges, with routes to suit every preference. Autumn is an especially rewarding season for hiking, with vibrant colours, soft light and landscapes constantly changing.
By bike, routes connect the lakeshore, valleys and Jura hills, from easy rides to more challenging circuits, always through remarkable landscapes.
On the water, our lakes and rivers still invite you to make the most of the last beautiful days of the season. Stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, canoeing and sailing offer another way to discover our waterways and their surrounding landscapes.
MOUNTAIN FARMS
One last chance this season: until the end of October, the mountain farms of Neuchâtel invite you to take a break amidst the landscapes of the Neuchâtel Mountains. After a hike or simply to enjoy a convivial moment, they serve authentic cuisine and regional specialities in a unique setting.
Move, breathe, explore! And make the most of autumn in the Pays de Neuchâtel.
