Mont Soleil Wind Farm

Highlight • Structure

On the 1,289 meter high Mont Soleil you will find not only the numerous wind turbines but also an enormous photovoltaic system. To be precise, it is one of the largest solar power plants in Europe.

Vacherie de Nods

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A tip is the "Vacherie de Nods" just before the Chasseral to stop. An "Assiette Froids for 14 .--" and it has enough for 2 people. Is really highly recommended before going down again via the Chasseral. You also have fondue and meringue if you want to spend a little more time there.

If the visibility is good, you have a fantastic 360-degree panorama with views over the Alps, the Lake District and the three lakes of Biel, Murten and Neuchâtel.

Mont-Soleil Solar Power Plant

Highlight • Monument

The first solar power plant in Switzerland was put into operation in 1992 on the Mont-Soleil - the name of the place fits in perfectly. Meanwhile, it has been expanded several times. The solar power plant can be visited. A pre-registration is necessary.
