Tips

Hans Künzler

October 25, 2017

The largest lake in the Jura mountains, Lake Joux is a paradise for outdoor recreation. In summer, its altitude (1004 m) guarantees a pleasant freshness and the water reaches up to 24 degrees for ideal swimming. Athletes love to practice windsurfing, paddle, water skiing, kite surfing, canoeing, kayaking or pedal boating. Cycling and hiking complete the offer of activities to share with family or friends.

In winter, when conditions are right, the lake freezes completely, becoming the largest frozen area in Switzerland and Europe. Adults and children then take the opportunity to cross the lake on foot or to put on their skates.

L'Abbaye is easy to access and there's a path all around Lac de Joux... best side is definitely the north west side.
