コルテベールの峡谷・トップ12

Please note: following a landslide, Combe Grède is closed until further notice.

Mystical place with the remains of the Anabaptist bridge that stood here. Meeting place of the Anabaptists who settled here from around 1528 to protect themselves from persecution by the Bernese government. Old engravings from the 16th century can be found on the walls of the gorge. The Anabaptists still meet at this place today... Cool in midsummer, cold in autumn...

Very pretty gorge to do with family, with friends. Accessible with an average physical level. So, nice little walk that could be followed by a navigation on Lake Bienne.

The Vaux stream is nestled among the trees of the Bernese Jura forest, and flows between Lignières and La Neuveville. From the Combe du Pilouvi trail, the view of the falls is breathtaking. It is a natural site full of magic, where witches once came to bathe in the sparkling water of the pools.

Superb path through the wild gorge to reach the summit of Chasseral. There are some technical passages, with three ladders to climb. The path can be very slippery in rainy weather.

A magnificent trail winds through a bucolic landscape along the gorge. Numerous walkways and galleries carved into the cliffs offer breathtaking views of waterfalls and pools. There is an entrance fee to the gorge (CHF 2 per adult and CHF 1 per child), and the trail is closed during the winter until Easter.

A nice walk to take on a Sunday morning before the lakeside restaurant. Top !

The Pilouvi Gorge is an enchanting place with several waterfalls cascading into natural pools. It is said that witches used to bathe there. The Ruisseau de Vaux stream flows from Lignières to the medieval town of La Neuveville. This small valley has its own history: first as a retreat for a devout hermit and later as a meeting place for Satanists. The hike through the Combe du Pilouvi begins in a peaceful forest setting with a slight climb and at the entrance to the Combe the Vaux stream cascades down through beautiful gorges. From the path, the view of the waterfalls is simply indescribable. The Ruisseau de Vaux - or Ruz de Vaux - is a four-kilometer-long stream in the Neuchâtel and Bernese Jura and forms part of the border between the cantons of Neuchâtel and Bern. The name of the water refers to the settlement of Vaux on the lower reaches of the stream. The hike through the Combe de Pilouvi gorge created by this river is one of the scenic attractions of the Lake Biel region.
