The largest lake in Switzerland is a picture of a thousand colours, a recreational area and a waterway. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy yourself.
Sailing on the largest body of water in Switzerland
With its 220 km2, it can boast of being the largest lake entirely located on Swiss territory. Magnificent in good weather, fiery when the weather gets rough, it offers incredible spectacles in all seasons. And not content with being the largest, it also communicates with the lakes of Biel and Murten via the Thielle and Broye canals. This makes it possible to take beautiful cruises to discover the magical landscapes as you pass from one lake to the other.
