La Neuveville

La Neuveville, a medieval jewel on Lake Biel, delights visitors with its colourful facades, winding alleyways and lively old town. With its wine tastings, cultural events and historic charm, the little town invites you to linger.

Medieval lakeside charm

Situated between the lake and vineyards, the town of La Neuveville is enchanting at first glance. The cobbled streets lead into an old town full of character with colourful houses and surprising details: an iron dragon on a roof, a coat of arms on the door of the Tour de Rive or facades decorated with grapes, reminiscent of the town's wine-growing history. A stream flows through the main street and contributes to the peaceful and picturesque atmosphere. Boutiques, galleries, restaurants and cafés lend a lively charm to the preserved historic centre.

Land of vineyards and traditions

La Neuveville is one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland. It is also known for its vineyards, particularly in the bilingual hamlet of Schafis / Chavannes, where a dozen winegrowers offer tastings on request. Between Pinot Noir, Chasselas or Œil de Perdrix, the wine cellars of La Neuveville are an ideal stopover to discover the culinary delights of the region.

A vibrant city of culture

Throughout the year, La Neuveville moves to the rhythm of a wide variety of events: Open-air concerts, arts and crafts markets on the lakeside promenade, a wine festival, a cobblestone race, a boogie-woogie festival, water sports activities and guided tours. The Musée d'Art et d'Histoire complements this diversity by making the region's rich past accessible to visitors.

Between legends and nature

La Neuveville is a town of history and tales, which also keeps alive the memory of its darker side. An educational walk, the Witches' Trail, takes you into the mysterious world of witches, from court cases and medicinal herbs to unexplained phenomena. With this exciting tour, you will explore the city in a new way, in which popular belief and historical reality intermingle.
