La Vue-des-Alpes snowshoe tour

A magical panorama and winter wonderland

The pass that connects the town of La-Chaux-de-Fonds with Neuchâtel is truly deserving of its name «La Vue des Alpes». It not only connects the two cities but is also a wonderful place for various snowshoeing and winter hiking activities, especially in winter. Thanks to its elevation, you get a unique view of the surrounding Alps, all the way to Mont Blanc.

Travel by train directly to La Chaux-de-Fonds. Then, transfer to the bus that will take you directly to the starting point of your tour. The tour ends in Les Geneveys-sur-Coffrane, from where you can comfortably travel back home by train.
