Cruises & offers →The picturesque ridge on the northern shore of Lake Murten, between the three lakes. Known for its panorama — Alps, Jura and lakes — and for its vineyards and wines.

The roughly three-hour trip between Biel/Bienne and the baroque town of Solothurn is considered Switzerland’s most beautiful river cruise — past the storks of Altreu and an impressive lock at Port.
The best way to explore the Seeland: by bike or e-bike through winegrowers’ and farmers’ villages, across wide fields, through the vineyards or along the water.

Towering above Lake Neuchâtel: armoury, knights’ hall, dungeon, torture chamber and a 150 m rampart walk with panorama. A witness to the Battle of Grandson (1476).
