La Roche Beach: the natural shore of Lake Gruyère
Fancy a beach where you can still hear the birds? The one at La Roche is among the least busy on Lake Gruyère: generous vegetation, calm water and a refreshment stand in summer. It is also from this shore that kayak and paddle outings set off.
Pont-la-Ville Beach: the quiet little beach on the lake
Escaping the crowded beaches? The one at Pont-la-Ville is smaller and more intimate, with clear water and welcoming banks on the shore of Lake Gruyère. A quiet corner with open access, two steps from the Golf de la Gruyère and the Rossens dam footbridge.
Gumefens Beach: the wide lawn facing the Île d'Ogoz
Fancy a beach where you can spread out your towels without bumping into anyone? At Gumefens, the lawn unrolls nearly 2,000 m2 on the shore of Lake Gruyère, with the Île d'Ogoz and its medieval ruins as a backdrop. Entirely free, with a large car park right beside it, along the Route du Marais.
Corbières Beach: family swimming on Lake Gruyère
Looking for a lake beach where the little ones can paddle safely? At Corbières, at the spot known as La Montagnetta, the lawn slopes very gently down to the water in the shade of tall trees. Playground, fire pits for barbecues and completely free access.
Play area of the Beach: climb and play by the lake at Estavayer-le-Lac
Want a playground with your feet in the sand, by Lake Neuchâtel? The Playground at the Beach, on the municipal beach of Estavayer-le-Lac, combines wooden climbing structures and ropes, shaded grass, and swimming right next door. Enough to keep the kids entertained between two dips.
