Yvonand Marina & Sailing Harbour

A Lakeside Marina on Lake Neuchâtel

This camera overlooks the small-craft harbour of Yvonand, a village on the eastern shore of Lake Neuchâtel, the largest lake lying entirely within Switzerland. Dozens of moored boats fill the protected basin, a typical scene of relaxed lakeside life in the canton of Vaud.

Boats, Pontoons & Breakwater

Floating timber pontoons and a curving breakwater shelter the moorings from the open water. Sailboats with bare masts, covered cabin cruisers and small dinghies sit side by side, their reflections shimmering across the mirror-like surface of the harbour.

The Three-Lakes Region

Yvonand sits within the scenic Three-Lakes Region (Pays des Trois-Lacs), a landscape of vineyards, reed beds and gentle Jura foothills. The far shore rises toward the wooded ridges that separate Lake Neuchâtel from the Swiss Plateau.

Visiting Yvonand

Known for one of the longest sandy beaches on the lake, Yvonand is a popular spot for swimming, sailing and lakeside walks. The marina is the heart of its boating community and a gateway to exploring the wider lake by water.
