The road leads to the castle from the west. The climb on the south side of the castle, which is mostly in the forest, takes you to the entrance on the east side. It's just beautiful how you can see the castle from afar and enjoy the view of the Alps.

Ferme Robert

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Ferme Robert mountain inn, built in 1750 at the foot of the Creux du Van, is at an altitude of 972 meters. It is the ideal stopover on the way to Creux du Van. In addition to the indoor area, there are large tables and a playground outside as well as an enclosure with goats. Children will find great opportunities to play there. There is a tourist accommodation about 50 meters from Ferme Robert.

Creux du Van

Highlight • Natural Monument

Magnificent playground for hikers, mountain bikers and gravel riders. Some beautiful raiders will be "flattened" by the breathtaking view and the surrounding nature.

Have fun!

May 10, 2025,Creux du Van ⛰️🚴😅☀️🥰

From Boudry, we cycle leisurely along the Areuse River, and the climb to Ferme Robert becomes steeper. Once at the top, we see the imposing Creux du Van from below for the first time. A beautiful path leads from here, climbing another 500 meters, easily manageable by bike. The exertion of the climb is quickly forgotten when we see the …

July 17, 2023,Creux du Van - mit Riesenschreck 😳😏

I downloaded this tour from Boudry NE as a GPX file from Marc Schürmann from allmountain.ch (2018).
The first part of the ascent, mostly in a wooded area, is on a paved road: always with a view of the other side of the river 🤩 There would be a great hiking trail. But every Brüggli has a no-bike sign ready …
