Highlights


An active autumn among golden forests, mountains and wide open spaces

The canton of Neuchâtel stands out as a prime destination for a refreshing and invigorating autumn. Here, outdoor activities blend with flamboyant landscapes: energising hikes along ridges dressed in warm colours, mountain bike rides through forests and pastures, cycling tours along lakeshores bathed in autumn light, or peaceful moments on tranquil waters.

In the Neuchâtel Mountains, panoramas reveal themselves in a new glow: Lake Taillères, a hidden gem of La Brévine, mirrors the colours of the season; the majestic, untamed Saut du Doubs offers a constantly changing spectacle; the Creux du Van is discovered in the heart of glowing forests; and from Chaumont, breathtaking views open onto the Alps.

This autumn in the land of Neuchâtel, every step, every pedal stroke, every breath brings you closer to a vibrant and generous nature.

Move, breathe, explore — and let yourself be inspired by the unique energy of a 100% active Neuchâtel autumn.
