Enjoy the approximately 1.5-hour boat trip from Murten to Neuchâtel. From the historic town of Zähringen, along the vineyards of the Vully and through the Broye Canal, you will reach the final port.

The start of this cruise is always in Murten. From there the journey continues towards the opposite shore of the lake to Môtier, Praz and Sugiez. Afterwards, the cruise will navigate through the Broye Canal and make a short stop at the Camping des Trois Lacs and La Sauge . Did you know that the canal forms the border between the canton of Bern and the canton of Fribourg? Shortly afterwards, the journey passes the BirdLife nature centre "La Sauge". Which birds can you discover from the ship? Last but not least, the ship docks in St-Blaise and Hauterive before heading for the port of Neuchâtel. Depending on the time of day, you can return to Murten by the same route. Murten is also easily accessible from Neuchâtel by public transport.
