Saint-Pierre Island, on Lake Biel (Klosterhotel)
We never tire of the Lake Biel peninsula, where we will not fail to spend the night in one of the 13 rooms of the Klosterhotel. Verdant, its vegetation alone inspires romance, while its small, discreet beaches invite wild swimming. Beautiful from the inside like the view it offers on the shores of the lake, it has hosted illustrious guests, the most famous being Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who fell for this nature reserve no less spectacular than Lavaux. Saint-Pierre Island is accessible by boat, on foot or by bike.

Le Coucou, above Montreux
As its name suggests, the Coucou invites you to come and nest above Montreux and enjoy a millionaire’s view of the lake. This cozy chalet has been a more or less well-kept secret since 1959. It welcomes you for a night in one of its 13 rooms or for an aperitif and meal at sunset in summer or by the fire in winter, buttocks warm on sheepskins. Accessible by car from Montreux (20 minutes) or by panoramic rack train to reach an altitude of 1150 m.

Gasthaus Richisau, in Glarus
An arty refuge in the Klöntal valley at the end of a road that doesn’t seem to lead anywhere, 20 minutes from Glarus. A little corner of paradise for lovers of tranquility, near a mountain lake with icy blue waters overlooked by cliffs. Several accommodation options and a lovely restaurant for gourmet palates.

Le Palafitte, on Lake Neuchâtel
Built on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel for the needs of Expo.02, the Palafitte is the only hotel built on stilts in Switzerland. Its vast rooms facing the lake completely integrate it like a Rothko painting with changing colors. Being lulled by the reflections of the water in the evening and drinking a coffee facing the grace of a swan in the morning before a first dive, that is priceless.

The Old Manor, in Murten
At the Pinte du Vieux Manoir, on the green banks of Lake Morat, we welcome you in a chic and relaxed manner. To sleep there, three options that are both bucolic and exclusive, the glass cube in the trees, the gate guard’s house or a comfortable lakeside villa for 2 to 6 people. Good to know: the place can easily be privatized for a big event!
