The original Swiss vineyard work and wine making continues
to be cultivated with the utmost care:  most work is still
done by hand.  However, time doesn’t stand still. New sorts
of grapes that are turned into specialty wines and the traditional
wines such as the classic Chasselas (of excellent quality) are
served in the three lakes countryside.

One wine making area especially worth a visit is the Vully
region near Lake Murten.  Picturesque wine growing villages
and charming wine cellars await your discovery.

Die Stadt Murten einmal anders entdecken: Der Besucher erhält bei der Touristinfo ein Minidisc-Gerät und lässt sich von Stimmen und Geräuschen durch eine aussergewöhnliche, mittelalterliche Stadt führen.

The charming Lake Murten landscape surrounds you in an inviting
atmosphere, as far as the eye can see.  What could be lovelier than
an early morning walk on the lake shore?  The classic lake “promenade”
and the Pantschau harbor area are lovely places for leisurely walks
any time of year!

From one side of the lake to the other…walking possibilities are endless.
Try combining your walk with a local boat trip – such as boating through the
Broye Canal to La Sauge.  From La Sauge, return by foot to Lake Murten.
Enjoy a beautiful sunset in Murten while sipping a fine glass of Vully wine…

The Lake Murten region is located on the language border in western Switzerland.
Travelers in Switzerland not only discover the typical regional architecture, but
also the special regional gastronomy culture.

The rich soil provides for an extraordinary variety in farming within a very
small area.  Regional products are plentiful on the serving platter:  be it
fresh fish from the lake or just harvested vegetables from the Great Marshland
area, fine cheeses or creatively presented desserts, along with abundant ripe
“Seeland” fruit to round off the meal.

Many Lake Murten restaurant names are fine examples of how the French
and German cultures intertwine.   Perhaps one day you’ll visit the “Bears”
restaurant, or go for a treat in the “Pike” restaurant, or another time you’ll
have a coffee at the “Swiss” restaurant and in the evening linger at the “Port”
restaurant.  However, all these restaurants do have something in common:
coziness and excellent personal service!  So, enjoy your meal!

Anyone who loves the water will certainly appreciate Lake Murten;
not only for swimming but because of the many water sports
possibilities.  Choose from a great variety such as sailing,
windsurfing, water skiing, wakeboarding, surf biking, sculling,
pedal boating, canoeing, kayaking and sport fishing – enjoy
these sparkling sports!

Leisure time and vacation time beckon you both in and out
of the water.  After a sunny moment on the Pantschau harbor
area, have a beach volleyball party or play “boccia” and why
not a round of mini golf, too.  

By the way, many national and international sports competitions
take place in the Lake Murten region over the entire summer.
To find out more, check the local calendar of events.

Discover an attractive scenic area and enjoy the wonderful lake
view!  You can learn so much about the interesting vineyard life
and wine making.  The Wine Path is accessible year round.

The Lake Murten climate is mild and very sunny.  Recent winter
seasons have been cold and crisp with very little fog; so that the
Wine Path is great for a stroll also on cooler days.  The winter
brings a contemplative atmosphere to the lake region, while in
autumn and spring, the winds clear the air for exceptional visibility
of the rich landscape.  The view on the Alps and the southern shore
of Lake Murten are particularly impressive.  Come and enjoy the view!
