Experiences in Val-de-Travers

Arranged wholly in the style of its French (or western Swiss) predecessors, this via ferrata has optimum safety. The views across and down into the Val de Travers from above, on the broad rock barrier, are very appealing. The route is 550 metres long, largely following natural ledges, where the safety rope generally also serves as a hand-hold rope. The site is closed from January 1 to June  30 and cannot be climbed then (it is the nesting period for the wallcreeper).

For over 100 years asphalt was laboriously mined in the underground asphalt mines of La Presta and exported all over the world for road construction. Today the mines are no longer in operation and are partially open to the public as a museum.

A natural spectacle in the Neuchâtel Jura: The Creux du Van natural rock amphitheatre inspires you with 200-metre-high rock faces, wide views and pristine nature. One of the most impressive attractions in Switzerland.
