Hiking Trails Under 10 km in Neuchâtel

We track 35 routes that match this search in Neuchâtel. They average 3.0 km, with the longest running to 7.4 km.

That is 80 percent of the 44 routes we map in Neuchâtel. They are shorter than the local average, 3.0 km against 6.0 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 5 m (16 ft) against 134 m (440 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Half-day routes: long enough to feel like a proper walk, short enough to leave the afternoon free. These lean toward the demanding end, so plan for a full day and check the forecast before you commit.
