Intro

On board a boat from LNM you can discover the magnificent Lake Neuchâtel and enjoy the nature and the idyllic panorama. The excursion on water can be ideally combined with a gastronomic experience on board, a hike or a leisurely bike ride.

Lake Neuchâtel, 38 km long and 8 km wide, is the largest lake located entirely in Switzerland. The charming towns around the lake are served by the Lake Neuchâtel and Morat Navigation Company (LNM), which has been in existence since 1872. There is no better means of transport than the boat to discover the magnificent area of the Three Lakes Country. Numerous boat connections and round trips make it possible to combine boat trips with hikes or bicycle tours. The ships carry bicycles, which makes for beautiful tours along the many bike paths that run along the shore. The ships sail daily throughout the year and numerous events, themed and special trips are offered. With the 10 ships in its fleet, the company has a capacity of 3500 seats, 1000 of them with restaurant service, and serves 35 moorings. Some ships can also be chartered for private events.

Three-lake cruise: a combination of Lake Neuchâtel with Lake Murten and/or Lake Biel.
