Beyond your stay, Neuchâtel offers an exceptional setting to explore. Between the calm waters of the lake, the landscapes of the Jura and its wild valleys, the region invites you to slow down, breathe and reconnect with nature.
Nicknamed the “Swiss Grand Canyon”, the Creux du Van is one of the most spectacular landscapes in the Jura. Its vast rocky cirque towers over the surrounding valleys and, on clear days, offers panoramic views as far as the Alps and the lakes of the Swiss Plateau.
A powerful, silent place, ideal for immersing yourself in wide open spaces.
In the heart of the Neuchâtel Jura, the Areuse river has carved a wild gorge where the water accompanies the trails between cliffs, forests and footbridges.
A walk along the river, in a setting conducive to contemplation and a return to a more natural rhythm.

Just a short walk from SIIYAM, the lake is a natural companion to your stay. Its shores offer long walks, open landscapes and a light that changes throughout the day.
From the Neuchâtel shoreline, vineyards, villages and mountains form a landscape that is both gentle and majestic.

Reached from Neuchâtel by funicular, Chaumont offers panoramic views over the lake, the Alps and the landscapes of the Jura.
An ideal starting point to gain some height, walk and see the region from a different perspective.

A few minutes from the lake, the old town reveals its narrow streets, yellow-stone façades and historic heritage. The castle and the collegiate church overlook the city and offer another perspective on its history and identity.
From the lakeshore to the heights of the Jura, every experience can be tailored to your stay. A contemplative stroll, a hike, a cultural outing or simply a moment facing the horizon: the Neuchâtel region is best discovered without haste.
