Lac des Taillères is a magnificent lake located in the Neuchâtel Jura, near the French border. It is also nicknamed the "Siberia of Switzerland" due to its cold winters and record low temperatures. You can admire the view of the lake, the forest and the wildflowers that line its banks as you drive around the lake.

Not far from La Brévine, an idyllic, 2km2 lake. It is the second largest lake in Kt. NE.
For swimming in summer, frozen in winter and an ice skating experience.
