"Small beach on Lake Murten. Parking spaces, toilet facilities and shower available."

Reto Kilchenmann

"This is a nice, calm and clean little beach next to Môtier ferry stop. Facilities are : toilets, showers, benches, parking. The area is mostly covered with grass and there are trees so it’s shady enough. It was a nice stop for a swim while we were riding our bikes around Morat Lake."
