Lake Neuchâtel is located in western Switzerland, in the Jura & Three-Lakes region. Switzerland's largest lake is a popular destination due to its charming wine-growing towns and villages (Estavayer-le-Lac, Neuchâtel, Cortaillod), protected areas, and sandy beaches.

Departing from Yverdon-les-Bains train station, the complete tour of the lake can be completed via various trails/roads, such as the Three Lakes Trail. It is also possible to do it entirely by bike

Starting at the Greenstone trail head, head into the woods via the single and well established track. Loop can be attempted in either direction. For clockwise, follow this track past the Greenstone bridge, through the undulating forest and into the spectacular Caples valley floor. About 15km you will start the long and gradual climb to McKcellar Saddle (956m), after topping out here, follows a short and sharp descent into the valley floor. Pass Lake McKcellar and enter the Greenstone valley. A true classic!

This challenging and breathtaking circuit takes in all the accessible passes of the spectacular upper Grose Valley, one of the most dramatic and iconic landscapes of the Greater Blue Mountains. The route links together the valley’s major entry and exit points — each with its own character, terrain, and views — while respecting current closures (Rodriguez Pass remains permanently closed). Note: Govetts Leap may be added as a route variation in future when open.

The route can begin at either of the four carparks:
