CANTON DE NEUCHÂTEL
The focus of this heavily forested 800 sq km canton (population 171,700), northwest of its
Fribourg counterpart, is Lac de Neuchâtel - the largest lake entirely within Switzerland.
Canton capital Neuchâtel sits plumb on its northern shore and the gentle Jura Mountains
rise to the north and west.
Neuchâtel
POP 32,800 / ELEV 430M
Its Old Town sandstone elegance, the airy Gallic nonchalance of its cafe life and the gay
lakeside air that imbues the shoreline of its lake makes Neuchâtel disarmingly charming.
