Why choose Neuchâtel for a family sports & leisure outing?

Because the city plays on two fronts: the lakeside atmosphere below — swimming, cruising, ice skating by the water — and the forest above, at Chaumont. Two very different settings for the same day.

The offer also covers all weather conditions: Nid-du-Crô and Kidz Moove indoors, treetop adventure courses and cruises on sunny days. A safe destination for families from the coast as well as those coming from further away.
