Chemin de Prés-d’Orvin

This winter walk, which starts in the village of Prés-d’Orvin, will take you onto the Chasseral ridge at a height of 1,288 m where a magnificent panorama over Lake Neuchâtel, the plateau and the Alpine chain awaits you.

The winter hike starts almost directly at the Les Prés-d’Orvin, Bellevue bus stop. The route initially crosses the open countryside above Les Prés d’Orvin, climbing gently between meadows and pastures. Sections of woodland add variety before the Métairie de Prêles is reached directly beside the route after just under an hour.

The ascent then continues. Near Mont Sujet, the circuit reaches its highest point at around 1,290 m; by this stage, most of the total 300 metres of ascent has been completed. From there, the route leads back through open countryside and further sections of woodland. Towards the end, it descends steadily and, after around nine kilometres, reaches the houses of Les Prés d’Orvin once more. The circuit ends at the Bellevue bus stop after approximately three hours.
