Berner Jura

Grand Chasseral region

From the impressive old town in La Neuveville to the “wages of the Suze” tour in Courtelary, fascinating places and events are what makes the Grand Chasseral region in the Jura & Three Lakes so attractive.

Between nature and tradition, shaped by deep valleys, flower-filled mountain pastures and steep ridges, the Grand Chasseral region offers both a place to escape and an enchanting natural setting for hikes and relaxation. The Chasseral summit, towering at 1,606 m, is the highest point in the region, providing a stunning 360° panoramic view over valleys, the Alps, and lakes. The peaks and valleys of Grand Chasseral offer visitors a wide range of activities: hiking and outdoor sports, cultural and historical heritage, industry, innovation, and gastronomy — all are part of the experience this remarkable region offers its visitors.

The must-see sights

Grand Chasseral is home to many must-see attractions: a gem on Lake Biel, the medieval town of La Neuveville reveals its secrets through various guided tours.
The Combe Grède, a protected nature reserve, offers peace and unspoiled nature in a refreshing setting on the slopes of the Chasseral. The “Espace découverte Énergie” is a national hub in the field of renewable energy, especially to be enjoyed through guided tours of the solar power station and a wind turbine at Mont-Soleil. For families, Sikypark — the Swiss animal rescue park — and the Camille Bloch chocolate visitor center are sure to delight both young and old.
Local products also take center stage! Bellelay is the birthplace of the famous Tête de Moine AOP cheese. Many other specialties are born of the creativity and passion of the region’s producers.
A rich diversity, waiting to be discovered!
