The Creux du Van is an exceptional natural site that offers an unforgettable excursion. To get to these rocky edges, you can climb (run) from Noiraigue on foot or by bike, with or without electricity.

The Creux du Van is located in the Swiss Jura on the border between the cantons of Neuchâtel and Vaud, more precisely in the beautiful Val de Travers. The rock walls drop around 160m and extend over a width of around 1200m.

It is often referred to as the Grand Canyon of Switzerland, but the "real" Grand Canyon in Switzerland is the Rhine Gorge near Flims. :-)
