About Neuchatel

It was founded in 1011 in a wonderful location between the eponymous lake and the Jura mountain chain. You can travel from the mountains to the beach in just a couple of minutes. There's a magnificent view to the Alps as well across the lake. Lac Neuchâtel is 38 km long and 8 km wide, and thus the largest lake entirely in Switzerland.
