Seyon Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Here, the river, still rushing and noisy, gives the atmosphere a particularly pleasant freshness during hot summer days.

Seyon Gorges

Highlight • Gorge

The Seyon Gorges are a natural wonder formed by the Seyon River, which flows from the Jura Mountains to Lake Neuchâtel. The river has carved through the limestone rock over millions of years, creating a deep, narrow gorge that cuts through the mountain ridge. The Seyon gorges are rich in history and biodiversity, as they have served as a passage, source of energy and habitat for various plants and animals. You can admire the beauty and diversity of the Seyon gorges by walking the path that follows the river, or by visiting the Gor du Vauseyon, a natural swimming pool with old water mills, and the Château de Valangin, a medieval fortress which overlooks the gorges.

Roman and Helvetian-Era Path

Highlight • Historical Site

Anyone who passes this point cannot help but wonder who or when this impressive stretch of road was built. It somehow transports us back to the time of the Romans and Helvetians. Who knows? Perhaps it was just a simple construction worker named Gustave Dubois (name fictitious) who built it in 1963 on behalf of the city of Neuenburg. Of course, it is all pure speculation. Perhaps one day, someone will explain it to us. We are excited. Until then, however... for us it remains a path from the time of the Romans and Helvetians. ;-)

Medieval village of Valangin

Highlight • Historical Site

Very beautiful village with a small restaurant open 7 days a week. Don't forget to admire the newly renovated house at the back of the east gate of the village.

View of Château de Valangin

Highlight • Viewpoint

Built in the 21st century, this castle has expanded over time with the addition of towers and other military fortifications.

Now used as a museum, you can discover a permanent exhibition of many objects dating from the 17th to the 19th centuries. As for the gardens, they house a collection of sculptures by Gaspard Delachaux on the theme of the imaginary world. Let those who are repelled by watches or other hybrids move on. Finally, temporary exhibitions take place within the castle grounds. Visit the museum website for further details on these.
