User reviews

"Auvernier boasts a charming lakeside park that offers ample parking for those who prefer to drive. The park features delightful tree-lined paths, perfect for leisurely strolls, along with pedestrian sidewalks and numerous seating benches that offer scenic views of the water. It truly is a hidden treasure of a green space!"

Lorelei Chambers

"This is probably the most stunning and picturesque free beach area in Neuchâtel. The lake water here is crystal clear and free from algae, and the stones are noticeably smaller compared to other beaches along Lake Neuchâtel. The surrounding area resembles a meticulously maintained botanical garden, with plenty of well-kept spaces featuring BBQ grills and trash bins."
