Creux du Van

Mountain bike tour: This tour primarily thrives on the impressive rock amphitheater Creux du Van, which appears 'Grand Canyon-like': in a half-circle nearly 2 km long, the upper edge of the amphitheater is formed by nearly vertical rock walls with a drop height of about 150 meters. Shortly after the Boudry station, we cross the Areuse river, through whose gorge the first climb of about 400 meters takes place; then it becomes relatively flat until just before Ferme Robert, from where we can admire the amphitheater from below during a rest. Now follows the ascent almost to the top, where we earn another break at the restaurant La Grand Vy; the height is practically achieved. Then we continue across pastureland to the cliff edge, which we admired earlier from below - caution is advised on this narrow trail...
