Seyon Gorges

Highlight • Gorge

The Seyon Gorges are a natural wonder formed by the Seyon River, which flows from the Jura Mountains to Lake Neuchâtel. The river has carved through the limestone rock over millions of years, creating a deep, narrow gorge that cuts through the mountain ridge. The Seyon gorges are rich in history and biodiversity, as they have served as a passage, source of energy and habitat for various plants and animals. You can admire the beauty and diversity of the Seyon gorges by walking the path that follows the river, or by visiting the Gor du Vauseyon, a natural swimming pool with old water mills, and the Château de Valangin, a medieval fortress which overlooks the gorges.
