The contrast could hardly be more attractive: Estavayerle-
Lac’s Old Town, with its picturesque houses, narrow
alleys and medieval charm; and, down on the shores of
Lake Neuchâtel, Estavayer-le-Lac’s alter ego – a trendy
and buzzing hub for watersports enthusiasts.
Wakeboarding,
windsurfing, sailing: the facilities are unparalleled,
even in Switzerland with its countless lakes. All this
good-natured, energetic activity, however, gives way not
far off to tranquil nature, at the largest lake wetland in
Switzerland. The Grande Cariçaie is a landscape of
international importance, protected in eight nature
reserves that cover nearly 3,000 hectares. They are
largely accessible to visitors – though only on foot or by
bike.
