View of Lake Murten and Lake Neuchâtel from Mont Vully

Highlight • Viewpoint

Besides the great view, Mont Vully (German Wistenlacherberg) also offers historical fortifications and various opportunities to relax at different rest stops. That's why the strenuous climb is always worth it.

April 29, 2024,Murten Mont Vully

Around Lake Murten: lots of nature, but also the smell of pesticides from fields and vineyards.
Good test for our ebikes: on Mont Vully it's a steep climb. Fantastic view over lakes and mountains

July 28, 2021,Murtensee [28.07.2021]

Following route # 480 around Lake Murten with a detour to Avanches. Unfortunately, most of the path leads along the road, with no view of the lake. Only when you drive up to Mount Vully do you have a beautiful view of the lake and into the distance.

March 30, 2024,Sortie dans le Chablais du lac de Morat.🐜🦋 30.3.2024

Nice outing as a couple, despite sunless weather for a walk around Lake Morat, taking advantage of the Chablais area, a marshy place at the end of the lake towards Morat, taking as much as possible the small paths serving very pretty places.😉

August 1, 2024,Murtensee-Umrundung mit Amphitheater Avanches und Mont Vully, landschaftlich schöne Runde mit historischen Highlights

Nice tour with the e-bike around Lake Murten. With historical highlights.

Today we took Lake Murten "under our wheels" again. However, we have already cycled the usual classic around the lake several times. To make today's tour a little more exciting, we included the Avanches archaeological site and Mont Vully.

Nice, leisurely tour with a view of Lake Murten and / or Lake Neuchâtel. Almost exclusively on well-developed bike paths

April 7, 2026,🚴‍♀️ Tradition mit Hindernissen und leichtem Knacks

Also a beautiful tradition: Cycling cozily around Lake Murten with my beloved. Sounds romantic, right? 🌅
If only my spectacular performance during picnic preparations hadn't happened… one wrong move, a dramatic CRACK – and voilà, my back decided to take center stage today. 🎭💥
