This route takes the shortest path around Lake Staffelsee, while taking into account all access restrictions (landscape conservation area) between March 15 and October 15. 

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!
