About this blog
The obvious on a sunny and warm day: go swimming in one of the three lakes. Lake Neuchatel has beautiful beaches on its Western shore.
Go water skiing ! If you don't have access to a boat you can drive to Estavayer-le-lac and use the water ski lift. You may rent a wakeboard or waterskis there as well.
Go for a stroll in the old cities of Estavayer-le-lac or Yverdon. Beautiful medieval architecture and comfy cafés will be part of the experience.
Take a train from Biel/Bienne to Yverdon. The ride along the shores of Lake Bienne and Lake Neuchatel is pretty cool. However, the train running that route is a tilting train and nothing for people with queasy stomachs...
On a bad weather day, you might want to try yourself at karting . There are indoor karting rinks in Muntelier and in Payerne. There is also an outdoor karting rink near Murten if you're interested...
Take a boat ride on one of the lakes. I believe there are also rides that cross from one lake into another through the canals that connect them.
Go for a summer toboggan ride near Neuchatel. Nothing quite like riding down those curves with lightening speed.
Visit Grandson castle ! If you're interested in history and old buildings this old castle overlooking Lake Neuchatel might just be the thing for you!
Hike to the Creux du Van , a unique canyon-like rock arean near Neuchatel.
Go lama trekking! Yes, you read correctly! You can spend a day hiking with lamas! :)
Rent a motor boat or a sailing boat (a big one if you have a valid license) and spend a day on the water. Another option would be renting a pedal boat for a few hours...
