July 14, 2023,NE/ ab Noiraigue nach Boudry. Wanderung durch die Areusschlucht☀️🌡

Today I am hiking for the second time through the Areuse gorge NE, also called the wild gorge, now it can be called the quiet gorge, the Areuse has almost no water.
I start in Noiraigue and finish in Boudry.
This enchanting hiking trail follows the partly babbling, partly roaring watercourse of the Areuse. It leads over stone bridges, footbridges …

the areuse gorge, the first half from noiraigue is nothing special apart from the stone bridge. the path was often wide and asphalted and I didn't particularly like it. after the delicious lunch at the hôtel de la truite (highly recommended), the path became narrower and rougher, leading over many narrow bridges and wooden walkways. I liked this part of …

A river, like a lucky bag. Whenever you think that's it, the Areuse turns it up again. Surprised, fascinated and charmed. And has been for over 100 years. In 1886 the association "Sentiers des Gorges de l'Areuse" was founded. Its goal: to maintain the paths, paths, stairs, railings and bridges along the Gorges de l'Areuse. And that's not a few. …

September 22, 2023,Urwüchsiger Schluchtensteig der Areuse

The Areuse gorge was our hiking destination today. So we got on the train early in the morning. Thanks to the tourist card, travel on public transport in the canton is free. We drove from Le Landeron via Neuchatel to Buttes, because first we wanted to take the cable car to Robella, but it wasn't open today, so we went …

June 5, 2025,Areuseschlucht von Noiraigue nach Boudry

Discover the Areuse: sometimes wide, sometimes narrow, bubbling here, there tranquil. Brilliant, unique, wild, with an abundance of water – all in all, breathtakingly beautiful.

This enchanting hiking trail follows the sometimes roaring watercourse of the Areuse. It leads over stone bridges, footbridges, and steps, through rocky narrow passages, and along impressively rugged cliffs. Given the rather poor weather forecast, …

Hike through the Areuse Gorges from Boudry (NE) to the Val de Travers. The path is not suitable for prams (and dog buggies 😄).
Afterwards you should definitely visit the asphalt mines of La Presta/Travers.
