Lake Biel/Bienne

Big Lakes – Lake Biel/Bienne in the Mittelland area of Switzerland is situated on the border between the French and German speaking parts and, together with the lakes of Neuchâtel and Murten, is part of the “Three Lakes Region”. It borders the southern edge of the Jura, where the slopes are used for intensive cultivation of vines. The wine-making villages and the romantic St. Peter’s Island are inviting places to spend a while.

Schon in der Frühzeit war die Felseninsel zwischen dem Genfersee und den steil aufragenden Bergen bewohnt. Von hier wurde jahrhundertelang der Schiffsverkehr auf dem Genfersee und der bedeutende Landweg zum St.Bernhard-Pass beherrscht. Vom 12. bis ins 16. Jahrhundert gehörte Chillon den Grafen von Savoyen, dann eroberten die Berner die Wasserburg, danach die Waadtländer. Über 300’000 Besucher besichtigen pro Jahr Chillon mit den Wandmalereien aus dem 14. Jahrhundert, den unterirdischen Gewölben, Paradesälen und dem original erhaltenen Schlafzimmer aus der Zeit der Berner Herrschaft. Schon in der Frühzeit war die Felseninsel

Museum CentrePasquArt, Biel/Bienne

Art museums – One of Biel's most provocative and attention-getting buildings from the 1990s is the annexe of the CentrePasquArt in Seevorstadt. The internationally renowned architects Diener and Diener extended the existing museum in a no-frills way, creating a distinct but respectful new building next to this former 19th century hospital.

The CentrePasquArt is a space for innovative, creative young artists and encourages those with talent to develop new works of art for the exhibitions.
