Near La Brévine, at an altitude of 1039m, an out-of-this-world lake landscape.

Between waterfalls and spectacular gorges, the Gore Virat is the jewel of the Raimeux mountain. The marked trail winds through a rich forest vegetation.

The Mont Vully is situated on the western side of the Seeland's largest plain and resembles a pearl gently placed between the three lakes of Murten, Neuchâtel and Biel.

The Anabaptist Bridge is a place for reflection with its mysterious inscriptions from the 17th century on the wall of the gorge.
