La Brévine: Hotels and Accommodation

Lake Taillères is located 3 km west of the village of La Brévine. Its southern shore is lined with fir trees, while the northern shore is bordered by pastureland. In summer, visitors can swim in the lake. When winter temperatures are particularly low, it is possible to ice skate on its frozen surface.

Winter

In winter, the La Brévine valley has regularly maintained cross-country ski trails of various lengths for cross-country skiers of all ability levels. The Chemin des Taillères No. 803 is an 11 km winter hiking trail that starts and ends in La Brévine and follows the shore of Lake Taillères.

Trails

The Vy aux Moines is a medieval route created by the monks of Môtiers to reach the canons of Montebenoît. The Sentier des bornes runs along the French-Swiss border and leads to boundary stones dating from 1766 and 1819. It reaches an altitude of 1,173 m and passes through the landscape of the La Brévine valley.

The hike from La Brévine to Les Verrières passes through Jura pastures, by Lake Taillères and down a gentle slope to the village of Les Verrières on the French-Swiss border.

Nature

The Balade forestière et contes provides information about 24 native tree species during a forest walk using QR codes; some of them are accompanied by stories to read or listen to. There is no internet access anywhere along the Balade forestière et contes. You should therefore download the content from arbresetcontes.ch in advance.

Lake Taillères can be reached by car, on foot, by bicycle or by cross-country skiing.
