The perspiration at the start of this stage is well worth it: the highlight of the tour is the natural rock amphitheatre of Creux du Van, Swiss equivalent of the Grand Canyon. From up here, enjoy a splendid view of Lake Neuchâtel. The trail crosses meadows and woodlands to reach the restaurant of Les Rochats.
